tallinzen @zehavoc @carlosgr_nlp @kchonyc But there isn't a single scale of "quality". It is a good thing when different venues provide their reviewers with different review criteria. I would never want to organize a workshop if we just do ARR for everything, what's the point if you're seen as curating leftovers?
