Can the qualified contributor be a non-author? (I didn’t see that explicitly stated in the doc, but may have missed it) The limit of 2 papers per qualified person could be quite limiting otherwise (depending how many students and collaborators you have)

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The new ARR reviewing policy is far more restrictive than the TL:DR suggests. A qualified review can only cover 2 papers. I expect that to be the more constraining factor than the per-author submission limits.

The construction on our building has clearly been going too long - you’ve gotten used to looking out your window and seeing construction workers looking back

I am rarely on twitter these days, but went there to check for updates and was shocked by the replies. I agree with all of your thread. I would add that we are still facing the challenge of getting positive engagement in the review process and need to build a community that believes in service.

This is an exciting new workshop at CHI that I will be at! Deadline for submissions is one week away.

I found the episode very interesting, and am curious whether you would be open to having someone on from a CS/ML background to give a perspective on the same question? (e.g., an NLP academic based in CS) Of course, I realise the podcast is *ling*thusiasm, so that may not fit with your approach :)

With the debate over peer review going strong, what other classic topics should be revived here? vim vs. emacs? spaces vs. tabs? Star Trek vs. Star Wars? The Oxford comma?

The joke’s on both of you - the post is already available on an open access server!

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

More broadly, part of the philosophy of ARR is that we will change / improve, including via community feedback (lots of changes have happened since it started). We are just one corner of AI though :)

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

In the case of this survey, it was advertised to all ACL members, all authors and reviewers in ARR, and on social media, so hopefully we got a representative sample. I haven’t seen the results yet, but am very curious!

If you want to help improve peer review, we are looking for a new Co-CTO for ACL Rolling Review! Requirements: - Post-PhD - Experienced with Python (including command line use) - Time commitment of 3 hours a week on average (but note that you are not expected to review while serving) Contact me!

You forgot to remind people - we are hiring!

Maybe we are doing too good a job of teaching computational thinking and so their minds have become entirely discrete

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Integration by parts is definitely in the Australian high school curriculum, but maybe only for extension mathematics? Should be covered in first year calculus though

If you want an iPhone only lightweight time tracking app, I wrote this one: apps.apple.com/au/app/fast-... The key missing feature for me at the time in other apps was the ability to change the timer without unlocking the screen. So I made an app with a widget to let me do that.

Another approach would be to give people a list of words and ask them to rate them as plausible continuations, but that seems hard to do at a statistically meaningful scale

140

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

True, as people will go for the most likely thing, and virtually no one will choose an option that we all agree is plausible but unlikely.

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

I also do this as a game in my first lecture of semester - I say a phrase and the whole class has to shout out the next word

Jonathan K. Kummerfeld @jkkummerfeld.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

I would expect a linguistics paper somewhere that has done this (possibly with a restricted vocabulary)

Fascinating keynote on fallacies in benchmarking by Adina Williams (ai.meta.com/people/adina...). Short version: in our excitement about LLMs we shouldn’t forget scientific principles of evaluation (I’m definitely going to check out the stack of EMNLP papers Dr Williams is an author of!)
