Draft has 37 emdashes. Just another day.11 Jun 2026 13:47 +0000at://did:plc:zfprwivf6lib32ndbaiucstt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnzegjk5ts27https://bsky.app/profile/rikvannoord.bsky.social/post/3m76o5ijfhc2oI guess in the end the main problem of conference reviewing is that conferences limit acceptance at X% and that >X% of authors truly believe their paper should be accepted. Review quality is also declining to the point of being ridiculous, but this problem will always remain.04 Dec 2025 19:06 +0000at://did:plc:zfprwivf6lib32ndbaiucstt/app.bsky.feed.post/3m76o5ijfhc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/rikvannoord.bsky.social/post/3lxrsjub5mc2jSomeone please change the fact that you have to answer no less than 7 questions about knowledge of author identity in the ARR reviewing form. #NLPproc01 Sep 2025 14:24 +0000at://did:plc:zfprwivf6lib32ndbaiucstt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxrsjub5mc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/rikvannoord.bsky.social/post/3lt3dck5ax225Author responses are so funny, really. They must be one of the weirdest texts out there. Like on the surface the authors are so polite and friendly, while also making it completely obvious that this is all for show and that they hate my guts. #EMNLP202503 Jul 2025 18:12 +0000at://did:plc:zfprwivf6lib32ndbaiucstt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lt3dck5ax225https://bsky.app/profile/rikvannoord.bsky.social/post/3lsb4d34vr22mI like the strict policy. But I'm not sure how it can be enforced, like, at all. You either unfairly punish people that had actual life emergencies which made them unable to review. Or you can easily escape punishment by claiming an emergency.
