\chapter*{Abstract}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\color{teal}
This is a template for writing a Thesis. It includes a general outline for a thesis that could be followed. Please update the docx files for the English and Hebrew front page and the hebrew abstract (under the \texttt{AuxiliaryPages} folder) and save them as PDF files (pointed to by the \texttt{\textbackslash includepdf} command) to include in the LaTeX output.
Note that the abstract for a thesis or research proposal is much more extensive than the short abstract for an article. It should be approximately 1 page long and really be an executive summary of the proposal, including some background, presenting the problem, and explaining how you propose to address it.
Don't forget to point out your achievements, such as the number of papers that you published.

%----------INTRODUCTION---------------%
%-------------------------------------%
\chapter{Introduction}
\label{sec_intro}
\color{teal}
This is the introduction chapter. The introduction is generally an ``executive summary'' of the thesis, providing some motivation, short overview of state-of-the-art, introduction of the solution presented in the thesis, and some results. It then usually will introduce the structure of the thesis (i.e., the content of each chapter). Make sure to (yet again) point out your achievements, such as papers that have already been published or are in submission.
\color{cyan}
Follow the examples in \texttt{bibliography/this\_bibliography.bib} to cite a journal~\cite{nameYEARtitleJOURNAL} or a conference paper~\cite{nameYEARtitleCONFERENCE}.
Here is an \gls{example} of how to define an acronym.
\color{black}
%----------BACKGROUND-----------------%
%-------------------------------------%
\chapter{Background}
\label{sec_background}
\color{teal}
This is the background chapter. The background chapter should be a very extensive literature survey, covering the main concepts that lead to the presented work and then a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art. Make sure to cover all seminal works that are related to your work and all recent publications. If possible, try to point out limitations or drawbacks of prior art that has led to the work that you are presenting in this thesis.
\color{cyan}
Here is an example of how to include a figure in your thesis. Make sure to reference each and every figure (e.g., see \figref{fig:myfigure}) and to provide a sufficient description of the figure contents in both the text and the figure caption. Put your figures in the \texttt{Figures/} directory and provide vectorized figures (PDF) if possible.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\linewidth]{example_plot}
\caption{Here is an example figure. Make sure the caption is descriptive.}
\label{fig:myfigure}
\end{figure}
\figref{fig:HTS-AT_VS_BLSTM} is an example of a complex figure with sub-figures, using the \texttt{subfig} package and \texttt{\textbackslash subfloat} commands.
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\subfloat[\centering IEMOCAP]{\includegraphics[width=0.53\columnwidth]
{Figures/ACE_mp2_Lecture_Room_2_T60=1220ms_htsat_vs_blstm_IEMOCAP.png} }
\subfloat[\centering RAVDESS]{{\includegraphics[width=0.52\columnwidth]
{Figures/ACE_mp2_Lecture_Room_2_T60=1220ms_htsat_vs_blstm_RAVDESS.png} }}

\caption{Accuracy and Confidence Interval on test sets convolved with ACE RIR Lecture Room 2 ($T_{60}=1220~ms$). The results of two HTS-AT fine-tuned on either clean or simulated RIRs datasets compared with trained on the clean datasets.}

%----------THESIS CONTENT-------------%
%-------------------------------------%
\ifthenelse{\equal{\doctype}{msc-thesis} \or \equal{\doctype}{phd-thesis}}{
\chapter{Thesis Content}
\color{teal}
From this chapter and on, you should present the content of your thesis. You will probably have several chapters of content -- for example, a chapter for each contribution/published paper.
\color{cyan}
Note that it is often nice to include each chapter as a separate .tex file, using the \texttt{\textbackslash include\{filename\}} option.
You can reduce the compile time of your paper by adding \texttt{\textbackslash includeonly\{filename\}} in the options.
This will only output the content of the selected file, but will retain the full file's numbering and everything.
\color{black}
\chapter{Thesis Content -- \textit{e.g., another contribution}}
\color{teal}
This could be a chapter about another contribution of your thesis.
\color{black}
\chapter{Thesis Content -- \textit{e.g., results}}
\color{teal}
This could be a chapter about the results.

This is how to add a table. You can also create your table in Word/Excel and include the pdf instead of dealing with \LaTeX tables. Make sure to reference all you tables in the text (e.g., \tblref{tbl:ACE_results_SER}).
