2		This is a working worksheet and not meant to be public. Please do not share it beyond the AC group.
3	AC To Dos:	Nominate yourselves for Session Chairs (due 16 Jun, Friday)
4		You can write in your names into the spreadsheet cells directly indicating that you want to chair (or be a backup). Sessions will be filled first come, first served. Just follow the worksheet tabs to the individual dates spreadsheets (e.g. Mon 31 Jul) and indicate which session you'd be able to chair. You can also indicate that any session is fine or that any session on a particular date below -- we'll then assign you as we can to cover duties. Please make your inputs in the areas with a gold background. Note that we need two session chairs for Sessions 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B due to their lengths.
5
6		I can chair any session (with any remarks next to your name. e.g., Min - any session on Tuesday 1 Aug)

22	1)	Identify your best papers to put into the oustanding paper sessions (Sessions 7 and 8 on Wednesday). Must be rated 4+, read by you to be at least of good quality, and be nominated by at least someone in the reviewing committee. At most ~5% of accepted papers should be nominated. TACL papers do not qualify for this.
23	2)	Help organize the sessions. Move papers to other sessions belonging to your area, if any, and change presentation mode if needed
24	How:
25	1)	In 'Accepted Papers' Column E, mark any paper with 'Y'. If you have papers already suggested by us in those sessions, you may swap them out with those that you prefer.
26	2)	In 'Accepted Papers' Column D, change the session ID as appropriate. For big picture suggested changes (e.g., cross area suggestions, such as swapping sessions), please write below in the notes or add a note or comment to the paper in the Accepted Papers sheet
27		Please do not sort the Accepted Papers worksheet as multiple people may need to refer to it. You may make a copy and sort that to help you work things out, but make your changes in the Accepted Papers worksheet.
28
29	Info	All work to be done on the Accepted Papers worksheet; others are summary / visualization worksheets for your reference.
30		Overview worksheets do not reflect the internal order of papers within a session, since these are automagically generated. You may suggest these in the notes below.
31		Oral sessions are numbered then lettered (e.g. 1a), Poster sessions are 'p' prefixed then numbered (e.g., p1)
32		The Format column indicates the reviewer's preferences on 'O'ral versus 'P'oster decisions, per reviewer, concatenated. We have tried also to reflect your prior judgements (but they are not on this Accepted Papers worksheet, pardon us)
33		The Outstanding column indicates nominations from the reviewers, concatenated. 2 and 3s are considered nominations, with 3s being strong contenders.
34		Timings for each session (in minutes) is approximated on the Overview sheets in the yellow cells
35		We have space for about 100 poster slots per night (Priscilla)
36		No more than 4 of 6 themed session on a theme (Sem, MT, IE), other surplus pushed to poster
37		Smaller areas generally overrepresented in orals, some larger areas may have orals pushed to posters
38		Assign TACL as Orals; TACLs are same as long paper orals
39		Assign Oral/Poster, based first on reviewers' & ACs opinion
40		Balance Sessions of same timing with respect to # short papers
41		Assign tracks (columns) based on related subject matter where possible
42		Student Research Workshop (SRW) has 20 poster slots on first night
43		Demos have 21 poster slots on second night
44		Add a 1 minute interval between papers for change during sessions
45		(Priscilla) I suppose what I am proposing may be something like 120 posters + 20 SRW posters + 10 demos on Monday (from 6-9:30 or 10pm?) and 80 posters + 10 demos on Tuesday (from 4:30-7pm?)
46	Post	Try to allocate diversity in outstanding paper sessions
47		Group DNN papers in batches for each track
48		Keep small areas' posters in one poster session
49
50	Not Done	Ensure that same author isn't on in multiple sessions at same timing.
51		Do not support reordering of schedule after publication to support author considerations by default.

53	AC Name / Area	Note to PC or fellow ACs	PC Co-chairs reply
54	e.g. Min	E.g. consider swapping whole Sessions 4a and 5c.
55	Tagging Chunking Syntax Parsing / BP	Submission 312 - suggestion presentation mode: poster instead of oral (following the original "accept - poster" suggestion)	Suggestion Accepted
56	Tagging Chunking Syntax Parsing / BP	Submission 3146 - suggestion presentation mode: oral instead of poster (following original "accept - oral" recommendation ; if doesn't fit into schedule possibly switch with #3392)	Suggestion Accepted. No change to 3392.
57	Biomedical	IE/QA/TM Submission 491 “Understanding and Predicting Empathic Behavior in Counseling Therapy” could be seen as relevant to biomedicine as well; suggest putting in same poster session with biomedical track (p1 rather than p2)	Suggestion Accepted.
58	Biomedical	Biomedical paper (sub 3352, poster) "Neural Architecture for Temporal Relation Extraction: A Bi-LSTM Approach for Detecting Narrative Containers" (scheduled as a poster) seems to be closely related to a IE/QA/TM paper that will be (orally) presented in session 1a (sub 3469) "Classifying Temporal Relations by Bidirectional LSTM over Dependency Paths". Is there a way for them to be grouped together?	Unfortunately, no. The two work out better as different presentation types, so we'll keep them as-is. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
