▌
Naacl Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when planning a research project's calendar toward NAACL — handling the chapter's skipped-year rhythm, choosing an ARR cycle when the edition's feeding cycles are not yet announced, backward-planning data and annotation work, and keeping a decision tree for commit-versus-wait-versus-reroute moments.

▌
Naacl Submission · brycewang-stanford
Use when a paper aimed at NAACL is about to be uploaded to an ACL Rolling Review cycle — verifying that the chosen cycle can still reach the next NAACL edition, that the PDF passes ARR's format and anonymization gates, and that every declaration on the OpenReview form survives a desk-reject audit.

▌
Naacl Experiments · brycewang-stanford
Use when designing or auditing the experimental program of a NAACL submission — matching evidence to language-coverage claims, keeping cross-lingual comparisons budget-fair, testing on natively authored rather than translated data where the claim requires it, and reporting variance that survives reviewer probing.

▌
Naacl Camera Ready · brycewang-stanford
Use when converting a paper accepted to NAACL Main or Findings into its final ACL Anthology version — merging promised revisions, restoring identity and community acknowledgements, applying the extra-page allowance, fixing Anthology metadata, and planning presentation logistics for an Americas host city.

▌
Naacl Related Work · brycewang-stanford
Use when building the related-work and positioning story for a NAACL submission — covering the ACL Anthology lineages reviewers expect, citing Findings, workshop, and regional venues correctly, handling resubmission histories and concurrent preprints under ARR rules, and stating the delta in one falsifiable sentence.

▌
Naacl Supplementary · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding what goes into the content pages, the uncounted sections, the appendix, and the optional uploads of a NAACL-bound ARR submission — allocating material by what reviewers are actually obliged to read, and keeping glossed language examples and long tables from starving the main argument.

▌
Naacl Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when revising the prose of a NAACL submission — scoping every claim to the languages and varieties actually tested, presenting non-English examples with glosses that carry the argument, writing a Limitations section that anticipates reviewers, and cutting to the ARR content-page budget without losing the linguistic substance.

▌
Naacl Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use when reasoning about how a NAACL decision actually gets made — the division of labor between ACL Rolling Review (reviews, meta-review) and the NAACL program committee (commitment-stage acceptance into Main or Findings), where author leverage exists at each stage, and how the skipped-year calendar shapes committee behavior.

▌
Naacl Author Response · brycewang-stanford
Use when writing the ARR author response for a paper headed to NAACL — deciding which reviewer objections to spend the window on, drafting replies that give the action editor a citable meta-review sentence, and protecting the score record that NAACL's committee will later read at commitment.

▌
Naacl Reproducibility · brycewang-stanford
Use when hardening the reproducibility story of a NAACL submission — treating the Responsible NLP checklist as a binding contract, pinning model versions and API access dates, making multilingual evaluation re-runnable, and stating an honest release level instead of an aspirational one.

1k repo stars
▌
Naacl Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
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.

▌
Naacl Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanford
Use when packaging datasets, models, prompts, or annotation materials for a NAACL-bound submission — building the artifact around the Responsible NLP checklist's artifact questions, documenting provenance and licensing for language data, and handling community-owned or Indigenous-language resources correctly.
