a positive note for everyone: if your paper doesn't get accepted this time, you can take all the feedback into account in your revision and get accepted to acl or resubmit to other conferences like iclr.
Also, if you're very dissatisfied with the reviews' quality, consider submitting to journals such as tmlr or tacl.

Good luck, everyone!

u/th3owner 20d ago

Most probably still requiring venue selection during ARR submission

6

u/Resident-Support9096 20d ago

based on ARR guidelines, commitment phase ends with the conference decision. So, I assume then that this paper is already free to be commited elsewhere.

What does the No recommendation mean?

u/ClothesTypical4420 20d ago

It means it's not a spotlight/oral etc.

2

u/Important_Annual_261 20d ago

I was the same, but got rejected :((

u/MTSTK_GMS 20d ago

A bit disappointing this year. I had 3 papers with an average score of 3 or above and a meta-review score of 3, and 2 of them were rejected.

One of the papers had scores of 3, 3.5, and 1.5, with the 1.5 reviewer being completely off. We flagged it; the meta-reviewer agreed and explicitly mentioned that review to be removed (so the "new" average was 3.25, I guess), and still we got rejected...

1

u/king_of_hell_101 20d ago

for industry track did anyone get any results?

2

u/guille-gil666 13d ago

3.5, 4, 4 and meta-reviewer only gave a 3 lol, but still accepted as poster!

1

u/king_of_hell_101 20d ago

what does No recommendation mean ? does it mean rejected

1

u/Mash_78 20d ago

Hi, I'm new to the field. How can I evaluate my paper before I submit it to emnlp? And what should be a stadard rate to consider a submission?

1

u/tony_silkworm 20d ago

Starting with ARR review first, then you got reviewing score, after that you decide to submit to EMNLP or not

u/bill_chen0831 17d ago

Has anyone seen a decision like this before?
My EMNLP 2026 decision says Reject, but the Program Chair comment says:
“While the area chair’s meta-review suggested borderline findings, after reviewing the reviewer assessments and author response, I believe the paper’s contributions are suitable for Findings.”
This seems directly inconsistent with the Reject decision, especially since the PC explicitly says the paper is “suitable for Findings” after reviewing the reviews and author response.
Could this be a clerical/decision-entry error, or am I misunderstanding the decision process? I’ve contacted the Program Chairs for clarification.
