Navigating ACL Paper Length Discrepancies: A First-Timer's Guide
You selected a long paper during ARR review, your main text runs nine pages, and yet the AACL Anthology lists it as a Short Paper. That discrepancy is jarring, especially for a first-time author. The good news: this is a known formatting quirk, not a judgment on your work's quality. Conference proceedings often classify papers based on page count in the final PDF, not your submission choice. Don't panic, but do contact the publication chair to confirm.
Navigate reviewer silence after rebuttals with confidence and clarity
The reviewer who asked additional questions and then went silent is a familiar frustration. In our experience, this silence usually counts as a non-objection. If they had a serious concern after your revisions, they would likely voice it. The AE will see you addressed the points and that the reviewer has no further rebuttal. That works in your favor. As for the ghosting reviewer: that's a tougher read, but it often leans positive. A reviewer who dislikes a paper tends to be vocal about it.
A positive signal or routine step: reading between the Neurips site selection email
A site selection email from NeurIPS can feel like a signal, but it's worth reading carefully before you start planning a celebration. This message is a procedural step, not a verdict on your paper's quality. It likely went out to every non-withdrawn submission as part of the logistics pipeline. That doesn't diminish the work you've done; it just means the real decision is still ahead.
