I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer review policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. I am running a survey, which would take around 7-10 mins to complete: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/j2jr9nH3X0

I would really appreciate insights from y'all!

I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer reviewing policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. Your insights—whether you're a seasoned reviewer, early-career researcher, or anywhere in between—are invaluable.
The survey takes 7-10 minutes and covers topics like review quality, reviewer assignment, and accessibility barriers. All responses are confidential and will help inform evidence-based improvements to our peer review processes.

☁️ We're setting things up for #CLIN35 tomrorow. Weather seems to be pretty unstable. With some luck we'll get a sliver of sunshine here and there. It isn't going to be warm though (20C max) so make sure to dress accordingly! (Ski suit not yet recommended.)

#Today: last chance to secure the regular registration rate for our Leuven.AI #conference. With 8 outstanding #keynotes (all alumni of @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social), a strong backing of our #sponsors (from KU Leuven spin-off to industry giants), and our big AI labs, this is going to be exciting!

Is this ARR May cycle particularly bad or did I just get extremely unlucky with at least one AC not doing anything at all (and they are assigned 14 submissions) and 3 being largely unresponsive? This results in 26/55 submissions missing a meta-review, in spite of having already 10 with emergency ACs
