Program Committee Membership & Reviewing

When I'm not area chairing, I regularly review for all major NLP conferences (ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, EACL, COLING, CoNLL, etc.) and journals (Computational Linguistics, Transactions of the ACL, Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research) and many NLP workshops (e.g., only in 2021 I reviewed for 10 workshops, ranging from NLP for languages in the Americas over Conversational AI to sustainable NLP). I also regularly review for all major Machine Learning conferences: NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML. I plan to provide a full list of all my PC and reviewing service here soon. However, this will take some time, as the list is long...
