ACL
The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the primary international scientific and professional organization for researchers in natural language processing and computational linguistics. It organizes the ACL series of conferences and promotes double-blind peer review practices across its publication venues.
Core Facts
ACL Rolling Review (ARR) was officially launched in late 2021 as a systematic reform of the ACL paper review process for the NLP/CL field.
ACL ARR (ACL Rolling Review) adopts a rolling review model in which review results can be reused within a certain cycle.
EMNLP is organized by SIGDAT (Special Interest Group on Linguistic Data and Corpus-based Approaches to NLP) under ACL

The core idea of RBAC is that permissions are not bound directly to users but to roles, which are then assigned to users or groups; ACL is a per-resource allowlist, while RBAC is an abstraction layered by function.
ACL（访问控制列表）是一种经典的权限模型，它为每个资源维护一个列表，记录哪些用户或角色可以对该资源执行哪些操作（读、写、执行等）。
Most RAG architectures pull ACLs from the data lake at indexing time and flatten them into metadata fields on vector records (such as allowed_roles, department, classification), then filter on this metadata at query time, but the retrieval path does not verify whether this metadata is still valid.
ACL Anthology is an open-access literature repository maintained by the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), containing papers from major conferences and journals in NLP and computational linguistics.
ARR (ACL Rolling Review) is a rolling review system used by ACL-series conferences, in which papers first go through an independent review process to receive reviewer comments, after which authors can commit papers along with their review records to a specific conference.
Rebuttals are extremely common at top AI and machine learning conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, and ACL.
The ACL author change policy categorizes change behaviors at different stages into three types—permitted, requiring application, and prohibited—to prevent academic misconduct such as honorary authorship or ghost authorship.
Authorship qualification for ACL conference series follows the general standards of academia: co-authors must have made substantive contributions to the research, and individuals who only provided funding or equipment should not be listed as authors.
The ACL ARR call for papers stipulates that once a paper is submitted, no changes to the author list are permitted.
An access control list (ACL) is a fine-grained permission management mechanism that maintains a list of who can perform what operations for each resource, distinct from the coarse-grained owner/group/others permissions of traditional Unix.
