  1. Looking more into the details today:
    * Although this is a record number of submissions for NAACL, the total number of long paper submissions is well under our “worst / best case” estimate based on EMNLP and ACL 2017
    * There is one collection of areas that has more submissions than our estimates: the collection composed of Generation, Summarization, Dialog and Discourse.
    * And in particular, here’s lookin’ at you, Generation, on the way up!!
