2022Q1 Reports: Anthology Director

All is well with the Anthology. We continue to engage a number of volunteers, and also have two paid assistants who are helping with day-to-day tasks as well as backlogged items.

• We have finished ingesting the MT Archive, including some of the earliest papers in the field (thanks to David Stap). This has been a year-long effort involving digitizing and ingesting this important resource, whose papers are now available with many Anthology features, such as nice BibTeX.

• With Exec approval last year, we have implemented a new retractions policy, modeled on the ACM policy. It has only been used a couple of times, but seems to be working well.

• Anthology papers now feature links to [Papers with Code](https://paperswithcode.com), which scrapes papers for links to external software, and also provides tools for claiming papers and making corrections (thanks to Robert Stojnic, who helped create a special API for us)

• We are working with a group (led by Ryan Cotterell) to rewrite ACLPUB, the tool for producing proceedings.

• A. Seza Doğruöz (Universiteit Gent) has signed on as a volunteer for submitting Anthology volumes to scientific indexing services, an important task for tenure-track faculty in Europe and Asia.

• We have taken the first step in straightening out the video ingestion situation. Videos for NAACL 2013 are now hosted locally, except for a number of them that were permanently lost. We are working through the backlog and also creating a policy to ensure this is done in a timely fashion after conferences.
