Submission Dates and Process for EACL/NAACL and ACL 2024

The use of an ARR-only submission process has been agreed by Program Chairs (PCs), and General Chairs of the upcoming conferences in 2024 (EACL, NAACL and ACL, referred to in this document as *CL conferences), with feedback from the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) Initiative, the ARR board, and the ACL Exec. There will be no direct submission option. This decision was announced during the ACL 2023 business meeting. The purpose of this communication is to update those that were not present, and to provide more details about the coordinated plan.

Joakim Nivre Receives the 2023 ACL Dragomir Radev Distinguished Service Award

We are delighted to award the 2023 ACL Dragomir Radev Distinguished Service Award to Joakim Nivre, Professor of Computational Linguistics at Uppsala University and Senior Researcher at the RISE Research Institute of Sweden. He has served in many different capacities in the ACL leadership and exemplifies the dedication over his over two decades of contribution to computational linguistics.

Martha Palmer Receives the 2023 ACL Lifetime Achievement Award

We are delighted to award the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award to Martha Palmer, Arts and Sciences Professor of Distinction for Linguistics and former Helen & Hubert Croft Professor of Engineering in the Computer Science Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She has made tremendous contributions to NLP, multilingual resources, and supervised ML in lexical-semantic processing. Her work in computational semantics has been hugely influential in the field, both through the semantic representations that she has developed and through the annotated resources that she has created.

Remembering Dragomir Radev

With a heavy heart, the ACL exec announces the premature passing of one of our own, Dragomir Radev, ACL Fellow 2018, ACM Fellow 2015, AAAS Fellow 2020, and AAAI Fellow 2020. Drago was the A. Bartlett Giamatti Professor of Computer Science at Yale University. He joined Yale in 2017 after spending 16 years at the University of Michigan as a professor in computer science. He surged into the NLP field with seminal research on multi-document text summarization, the topic of his PhD dissertation in 1999.

ACL Fellows 2022

We are delighted to announce that the ACL Nominating Committee has selected eight ACL fellows for 2022: Hinrich Schütze, Marti Hearst, Claire Gardent, James F. Allen, Owen Rambow, Yejin Choi, Maosong Sun, Tomek Strzalkowski

New TACL co-Editors-in-Chief

Roi Reichart and Asli Celikyilmaz have been selected to be co-Editors-in-Chief (co-EiCs) of TACL, which will bring the number of co-EiCs to three (along with Ani Nenkova) when Brian Roark finishes his term at the end of 2022. Congratulations to Roi and Asli!

The temporary expansion to three co-EiCs will last until the end of Ani Nenkova's term in 2024, when TACL will revert to its standard 2 co-EiCs. The expansion is in support of initiatives that require effort beyond the regular operation of the journal.
