It seems like the ARR AC guidelines don't give instructions for what the AC should do in the case of a very negative ethics review. Should the AC lower their scores and recommend rejecting the paper, if they are convinced by the ethics review? #emnlp2025 aclrollingreview.org/acguidelines

🎓 Looking for PhD opportunities in #NLProc for a start in Spring 2026? 🗒️ Add your expression of interest to join @copenlu.bsky.social here by 20 July: forms.office.com/e/HZSmgR9nXB Selected candidates will be invited to submit a DARA fellowship application with me: daracademy.dk/fellowship/f...

The deadline has been extended to July 4th.

I have had a proposal for a 'birds of a feather' session on participatory design accepted at ACL. However, I have no idea what this should consist of. Anyone want to co-organise?

Once again, a ridiculous number of no-show reviewers in my ARR ACing load. No review, no response to queries, no repercussions. What can we do about this?
