Jonathan Le Roux @jonathanleroux.bsky.social · 16/09/2025If you're submitting to #ICASSP2025 and are wondering why your tables at the top of a column are too low, it's because the template adds a \vskip above the caption. Easiest fix is to add \vspace{-6pt} just before the \caption to make it flush with the text. You're welcome🤗 000
