The Impossible Task of Conference SACs/PCs or How I lost 3 Nights of Sleep

I am writing this post in order to share my thoughts on the processes behind acceptance/rejection decisions in top-tier (NLP) conferences. I'll first discuss the process and then share some thoughts on its shortcomings.

Before we start, a bit about me. I am an assistant professor (aka, rather junior: I have been in this position for less than 4 years, following my PhD studies and a short postdoc) working on NLP, with a focus on multilingualism and low-resource settings. While I have submitted, published at, and reviewed for *ACL conferences and workshops for many years, it was at EMNLP'23 that I was a Senior Area Chair (SAC) for the first time.

The Conference Paper Pipeline

Let's first briefly outline the process that a paper undergoes, from submission to decision:

	create or replace function uuid_generate_v7()

	begin
	-- use random v4 uuid as starting point (which has the same variant we need)
	-- then overlay timestamp
	-- then set version 7 by flipping the 2 and 1 bit in the version 4 string
	return encode(

	# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
	# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
	# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.
	#
	# Let's assume we call "old repo" the repository you wish
	# to move, and "new repo" the one you wish to move to.
	#
	### Step 1. Make sure you have a local copy of all "old repo"
	### branches and tags.

	// The following is an example from the language Kitten, but generalizes to other languages.
	// It should be useful for language design and choosing naming conventions for variables and functions.

	// TL;DR: camelCase is most readable/discernable when used in context, as per this simple example extract:

	`n bottles-of-beer on-the-wall` // kebab-case
	`n bottles_of_beer on_the_wall` // snake_case
	`n bottlesOfBeer onTheWall` // camelCase

	// To more fully see the effect yourself, in context, do the following:
