I'm at #ACL2026 right now and looking forward to seeing all the cool work. But a lot of NLP is also being published at other venues like NeurIPS/ICLR/COLM/etc. I was wondering to what extent researchers are shifting where they publish in the post-LLM era, so I measured it. arx…
- In the post-LLM era, established NLP authors lost 19.2pp of share at flagship *ACL main-conference tracks while gaining 14.8pp in Findings tracks.
- General ML venues rose 8.6pp among established authors, even after adjusting for parallel growth across both fields.
- Among debut authors with three or more first-author NLP papers, those mostly at *ACL fell from 84% in 2019 to 74% in 2024.
