naacl-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project should target NAACL rather than ACL, EMNLP, EACL, AACL, LREC-COLING, TACL, or an ML venue — weighing the chapter's Nations-of-the-Americas identity, theme tracks, timing across skipped years, and whether the paper's audience actually convenes at this conference.

When to use

• deciding between NAACL and ACL, EMNLP, EACL, AACL, LREC-COLING, TACL, or ML venues
• weighing the Nations-of-the-Americas identity
• evaluating theme tracks
• checking timing across skipped years
• determining if the paper's audience convenes at NAACL
• routing among near-identical siblings
• applying the three-question fit test
• shaping the project once NAACL is chosen

When not to use

• assessing if a paper is good enough for NAACL based on rigor alone
• choosing NAACL for prestige-ranking reasons
• sitting on finished work for a year for NAACL
• framing translated-benchmark studies as Americas-languages papers
