[D] Is ACL more about the benchmarks now?
Our take
The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) has long been recognized as a premier venue for natural language processing research. Recently, however, there appears to be a noticeable emphasis on benchmarks in the submissions and discussions within the community. This shift raises questions about the balance between theoretical contributions and empirical studies in the field. Are researchers prioritizing benchmark results over innovative theoretical frameworks?
I am not a NLP guy, but afaik ACL is one of the premium venues of NLP.
And given that the results were announced recently, my LinkedIn and Twitter are full of such posts. However, every title I read in those posts has something to do with benchmarks. And even it seems, the young researchers also have like 10+ papers (main + findings) at a single venue.
So was just wondering if ACL is majorly about benchmarks now, or are there are good theory/empirical stuffs yet published at this venue
