New blog post on ACL review reform: hackingsemantics.xyz/2020/anonymity TLDR: so far reforms focused on reviewer load, but we also have a huge problem of "PR review" & deanonymization on arXiv. @nlpmattg has an alternative proposal enabling fairer&faster reviews. Need community support! /1

"[...] as lockdowns have increased domestic workloads – not just childcare, but homeschooling, shopping, cleaning and caring for elderly relatives – women have been landed with more tasks than men, and this has cut into their research time and exacerbated existing career hurdles"

ACL review process is up for reform! If you haven't already seen the proposals, please do. * Short-term reform proposals: aclweb.org/adminwiki/inde… * Long-term reform proposals: aclweb.org/adminwiki/inde… /1
