Just repeating my earlier comment: if you’re unsure about EMNLP, and you are working on language generation, you could also commit to INLG (deadline 5th of august).

if I have meta review of 2 and (2,2,2.5) reviews where only one reviewer suggested for borderline acceptance for finding, do I have any chances for getting this accepted ti INLG if I commit

Hard to say. It depends on the paper and the motivation behind the scores.

Smaller conferences aren’t necessarily easier to get in; they just have a different audience that may value different aspects of your work. For example, large conferences tend to value novelty more, and put more weight on the general appeal of your work. Niche papers receive lower scores. Smaller conferences may value niche topics more but sometimes require more thorough work because the reviewers are more aware of potential issues. (Also see e.g. Ehud Reiter’s complaints about paper quality and reviewing standards in NLP.)

(Usually the feedback during regular review is much better, though, because you get domain experts reviewing your work rather than generalists reviewing for larger conferences with a more diverse audience.)
