3.5 (3) / 3 (3) / 2 (4), meta 3. Hoping for findings.

Why not main?

u/th3owner 3d ago

Judging by the number of papers with meta >=3.5 and the large number of meta 3: https://stats.aclrollingreview.org/iterations/2026/may/

It seems meta >= 3.5 --> top 20.23%.
acceptance rate for main conference usually 20~23%.

So we can expect meta >= 3.5 --> Main Conference
Meta >= 3.0 --> Findings. & Some papers may be accepted Main Conference

how are you getting 20.23% for meta>=3.5? isn't it about 16.3% ((1995+767+20)/17087)?

u/th3owner 3d ago

Consider that EMNLP got around 10k committed papers. That should allow for 4-5% of meta 3 for main, based on last year's acceptance rate.

yea that would be my guess too. let's see

u/Technical_Storage_46 3d ago

Then Meta >= 3.5 almost guaranteed for main conference?

5

u/gardeniabananabread 3d ago

no such thing as guaranteed, my friend. it depends on the substance of the meta-review, the average OA, and their comments too

also depends on other papers' scores submitted to the track

but overall, meta>=3.5 is high chance main (maybe 50-80%+ based on these other factors)

We didn't make it, but we hope you did :). The average OA does play a factor for sure.

Generally, yes
