3 months ago Some notes for EMNLP submission:
- for 2024 EMNLP uses only ACL Rolling Review (ARR), submission deadline: 15th June, 11:59 PM anywhere on Earth https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/ARR/2024/June#tab-your-consoles
- AS OF April 1st: Mandatory reviewing workload: we will need to dedicate someone (or a bunch of us) to review at least 3 papers during the reviewing cycle each. https://aclrollingreview.org/reviewing-workload-requirement/
- Submission topics: Definitely need to review this together (potentially see what papers were on what tracks in prev years), however some do stand out, as we propose a data efficient method for task unlearning:
- the main theme - Efficiency in Model Algorithms, Training, and Inference (speaks for itself, but there is a summary on the website)
- Low-resource Methods for NLP
- Ethics, Bias, and Fairness (potentially, since harmfulness unlearning is a part of it)
- Information Extraction (in our case task efficiency decrease/removal)
- Question Answering (one of the tasks unlearned - harmful question answering)
- Two stage review: 1st submit to ARR, then commit to EMNLP 2024 - they make the final decision. Commitment deadline: 20th August 2024.
- Other important dates:
- Notification of acceptance: 20th September 2024
- Camera-ready papers due: 3rd October 2024
- Main Conference 12-14th November 2024
- Workshops + Tutorials: 15th-16th November 2024
- To decide: Long (8 pages) vs short (4 pages) paper: https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#long-papers (probably long, as we want to include quite a bit of concrete evaluation and analysis)
- Two-Way anonymised review: can't reveal names or affiliation in submission (including self references "X showed in .." vs "We previously showed in.."). Supplementary material (read: GH repo) should also be anonymised: https://anonymous.4open.science/
- Citations: We are not required to make detailed comparisons/experiments regarding papers published less than 3 months before submission deadline (but can reference) https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#citation-and-comparison
- Multiple submission policy: - DON'T DO IT https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#multiple-submission-policy
- Ethics policy: authors encouraged to include ethical impact of the work (however not required), will be taken into account in the review process https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#ethics-policy
- AI writing assistance: disclose if used a lot, disclose in README if used for code writing assitance
- Limitations: REQUIRED SECTION, at the end of the paper, does NOT count towards page limit. (desk rejected without it). https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#limitations-required-section
- Submission template: ACL style: https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#paper-submission-and-templates
- Optional supplementary materials (appendix, software, data): encouraged to improve reproducibility of results, software submitted as a single .tgz or .zip archive, data in a separate .tgz or .zip archive. Material MUST BE FULLY ANONYMISED! https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#optional-supplementary-materials-appendices-software-and-data
- FINAL VERSION: given 1 additional page of content, to address reviewers' comments (9 pages for long total), assuming that means we submit with 8, only expand to 9 to address comments
- PResentation: if accepted ,someone need s to present in person or virtually otherwise it will be rejected
Enjoy the tl;dr, I tried to capture it all (handwritten), but defo worth another glance @Adamliu1 @Davidyz @TheRootOf3
