Update on reviews for EMNLP, which were due on June 18th: as of today, only about 80% of reviews have been completed 😧 As a reminder, reviewers deemed "highly irresponsible" will not be able to commit their work to EMNLP, as per the updated ARR policy: aclrollingreview.org/incentives2025

📢 Breaking changes to EMNLP submissions! If you plan to submit, pls make sure ALL co-authors know that: - they have to register as reviewers by May 21st (can be done as soon as a paper is submitted) - if they get assignments, it must be done on time and acc. to guidelines. Penalties now possible!

That’s a wrap on our first Huji NLP Hackathon! Congrats to the winning team! @noy-sternlicht.bsky.social @nirmazor.bsky.social They explored gender bias in AI-generated movie scripts using the Bechdel Test — and yep, you can guess the results...

📢 Based on the recommendation from peer review committee, ARR switches from 8 to 10-week cycles. This will allow for a saner cycle schedule. See the full report here: www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/im... The ARR website is now updated with the new submission dates: aclrollingreview.org/dates

Looking for emergency reviewers for October ARR. If someone can complete a review *today* (Sunday, Nov. 24), please DM me🙏 I have papers on efficiency, interpretability and speech

The focus on SOTA has caused a dramatic increase in the cost of AI, leading to environmental tolls and inclusiveness issues. We advocate research on efficiency in addition to accuracy (#greenai). Work w/ Jesse Dodge Noah A. Smith and Oren Etzioni
