The JMLR LaTeX template enforces the use of {algorithm2e} to typeset algorithms, package I am not familiar with—my weapon of choice is {algorithmicx}—yet I'm starting to see the appeal.
{algorithm2e} does provide you with more flexibility! For instance, the flexibility to wish you'd never been born

How complex should network models be?
🚨 In our latest paper we quantify (if and) when higher-order interactions are informative versus reducible to pairwise structure without losing functional signal (e.g., diffusion behavior).
