Individual skill
naacl-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a project should target NAACL rather than ACL, EMNLP, EACL, AACL, LREC-COLING, TACL, or an ML venue — weighing the chapter's Nations-of-the-Americas identity, theme tracks, timing across skipped years, and whether the paper's audience actually convenes at this conference.

# NAACL Topic Selection
Every venue in the *ACL family reviews through the same ARR machinery, at
the same rigor, with heavily overlapping reviewer pools. So "is this good
enough for NAACL?" is usually the wrong question. The right ones: *does the
NAACL calendar fit this project's timing*, and *is the room that gathers at
