📜 Some of you may have heard about the desk-rejected papers from the ACL'26/ARR Jan 2026 or October 2025 cycles because of hallucinated references. These cases were detected post-commitment. ACL Program chairs have an official statement on this: 2026.aclweb.org/acl_statement/ #ACL2026NLP #NLProc
📢 ARR-May reviewers can now try REVAS, an experimental review support tool.
REVAS gives feedback on review quality criteria and ARR reviewer heuristics, but does not suggest review content or scores.
