Working with the llncs document class and wanted to place a large table sideways.

Code:

\documentclass[runningheads]{llncs}
\usepackage{graphicx} % Required for inserting images
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}


\title{Paper Title Here ... }


\begin{sidewaystable}
     \caption{Classification results of imbalance techniques}
     \centering
     \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{lccccccccccccccc}%
     \toprule
     Transportation Mode & \multicolumn{5}{c}{Precision} & \multicolumn{5}{c}{Recall} & \multicolumn{5}{l}{F1-Score} \
     \cline{2-15}
     & RF & RF-SMOTEd & AdaBoost & SMOTEBoost & DECOC & RF & RF-SMOTEd & AdaBoost & SMOTEBoost & DECOC & RF & RF-SMOTEd & AdaBoost & SMOTEBoost & DECOC \
     \midrule
     Walk & 0.88 & 0.78 & 0.65 & 0.59 & 0.45 & 0.38 & 0.73 & 0.95 & 0.83 & 0.57 & 0.52 & 0.07 & 0.22 & 0.66 & 0.88 \
     Bike & 0.88 & 0.78 & 0.65 & 0.59 & 0.45 & 0.38 & 0.73 & 0.95 & 0.83 & 0.57 & 0.52 & 0.07 & 0.22 & 0.66 & 0.88 \
     \bottomrule
     \end{tabularx}
\end{sidewaystable}


\end{document}

Output:

enter image description here

This table does not fit even after adding \tabcolsep=0pt.

EDIT

I am wondering how this paper managed to add the following large table despite using the same document class.

    You might not be able to fit a table like that on one page sadly, please see the solutions here by @Werner to see if they can assist - you can only fit so much in a table without reducing space or increasing page size. – JamesT Mar 16 '23 at 00:12

    @JamesT - Please see the answer I posted. :-) – Mico Mar 16 '23 at 02:42

You'll need to insert line breaks in almost all header cells. Since most of the headers appear to be acronyms, it's best to force the line breaks by hand; see the code below for how this may be done. But once you've created all the manual line breaks, there's no further need for a tabularx environment. Instead, use a tabular* environment (and set its width to \linewidth). Finally, the \centering instruction isn't doing anything useful and may (should!) be omitted.

enter image description here

\documentclass[runningheads]{llncs}
\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage{tabularx} % no longer needed
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{booktabs}

% new code:
\usepackage{amsmath} % for \smash[b] macro
% handy shortcut macros for line breaks in cells
\newcommand{\mytabL}[1]{\smash[b]{%
  \begin{tabular}[t]{l} #1 \end{tabular}}}
\newcommand{\mytabC}[1]{%
  \begin{tabular}[t]{c} #1 \end{tabular}}

No sidewaystable if you avoid lengthy repetition.

I could not help myself: this is just a spin on egreg's answer with some finetuning, while not changing anything profound:

  • Streamlined legend (R: RF instead of (1) RF)
  • Grouped columns with accordingly shortened midrules

slender 16 column table with 3 groups à 5 columns with additional column separation

\medskip

TM: Transportation mode

R: RF; S: RF-SMOTEd; A: AdaBoost; B: SMOTEBoost; D: DECOC



\end{table}
\end{document}

And here my final take - the cramped look did not let me rest:

  • Switched to % as the unit, dropping all 0.
  • Transposed the axes: Transportation mode and method swapped
  • Top left corner label switched from "mode" to "method". If not clear from context, the meaning from "walk" and "bike" could be made clear in the caption.
