Add plenary talk data to XML files

[davidstap]

Overview

This PR adds plenary talk data to respective XML files, supporting issue #3603 which aims to create functionality for displaying these talks. Additionally, I have manually added missing videos. In total, 720 new videos are added.

Status

• ACL 2021 (added 40 additional videos: 24x plenaries, 13x tutorial, 3x keynote)
• ACL 2022 (added 44 additional videos: 18x plenaries, 3x main conference, 4x findings, 3x TACL, 18x tutorials, 1x workshop, )
• ACL 2023 (added 17 additional videos: 9x plenaries, 3x keynote, 1x CL presentation, 4x TACL presentation)
• ACL 2024 (waiting for input Underline regarding misalignment issue, see Added ACL 24 videos #3975, will create separate PR)
• EACL 2023 (added 14 additional videos: 4x plenaries, 3x keynote, 1x tutorial, 6x workshop presentation)
• EACL 2024 (added 22 additional videos: 4x plenaries, 3x keynote, 1x CL presentation, 2x TACL presentation, 12x workshop presentation)
• EMNLP 2021 (added 5 additional videos: 2x plenaries, 3x keynote)
• EMNLP 2022 main presentations were completely missing, I've added these now. (Added 492 additional videos: 5x plenaries, 3x keynote, 468x EMNLP presentation, 1x Findings presentation, 6x CL presentation, 9x TACL presentation)
• EMNLP 2023 (added 46 additional videos: 4x plenaries, 3x keynote, 2x EMNLP demo, 8x CL presentation, 23x TACL presentation, 6x workshop presentation)
• NAACL 2021 (added 18 additional videos: 7x plenaries, 5x tutorial, 6x keynote)
• NAACL 2022 (added 22 additional videos: 5x plenaries, 12x tutorial, 2x keynote, 3x workshop)

For all events I found additional content (business meeting and related), will add this when clear what to do with it.

Questions

Can you comment on the questions below @mjpost?

1. ACL 2022 Business Meeting Videos

Current situation:

• Main recording exists in 2022.acl.xml
• Additional 5-minute TACL report (currently unlisted)

Question: Should we add the TACL report as a separate video entry?

2. ACL 2021 Business Meeting Content

We have:

• Main business meeting recording (acl20224_business_meeting.mp4)
• Individual report segments:
  • ACL, EACL, NAACL Regional Reports (BM-06, BM-07, BM-08)
  • Journal Reports (CL, ACL RR) (BM-10, BM-12)
  • Committee Reports (Anthology, Professional Conduct, Publicity) (BM-13, BM-14, BM-15)
  • Future Conference Reports (ACL 2023, 2024 Bids) (BM-18, BM-19)
  • Administrative Reports (Secretary, Treasurer, Sponsorship) (acl20211, acl20213, acl20214)

Question: How should we structure these? Consider grouping under a single "business meeting" section?

For completeness, these are the relevant files:

BM-02.mp4
BM-06_report_ACL.mp4
BM-07_report_EACL.mp4
BM-08_report_NAACL.mp4
BM-10_report_CL.mp4
BM-11_report_journal.mp4
BM-12_report_ACL_RR.mp4
BM-13_report_Matt_Post_Anthology.mp4
BM-14_report_professional_conduct_committee.mp4
BM-15_report_ACL_publicity_director.mp4
BM-18_report_ACL_2023.mp4
BM-19_ACL_2024_call_for_bids.mp4
acl20211_report_secretary.mp4
acl20213_report_ACL_treasurer.mp4
acl20214_report_sponsorship_director.mp4

3. Additional ACL 2021 Content for Consideration

We have the following event video files:

• Opening/Closing Sessions (acl20216, acl20223)
• Presidential Address (acl20217)
• Award Sessions (acl20220, acl20221, acl20222, award-1)
• Special Events (acl20225_panel_green_NLP)

Question: Should these be included, and if so, where would they best fit in the structure?

For completeness, these are the relevant files:

acl20216_opening_session.mp4
acl20217_presidential_address.mp4
acl20220_lifetime_award.mp4
acl20221_best_paper_session.mp4
acl20222_test_of_time_awards.mp4
acl20223_closing.mp4
acl20225_panel_green_NLP.mp4
award-1.mp4

This preview will be removed when the branch is merged.

[mjpost]

These currently don't show up under the preview, is that just missing?

[davidstap]

That's correct; this PR adds keynotes (and misc missing videos) to the XML. After this is finished we can work on displaying the talks (PR #3603).

[mjpost]

Sorry for the late response.

1. Yes, just add the TACL report as a separate entry, if that's not too difficult.

2. If the business meeting was broken up into separate files, maybe the easiest is to just have a separate entry for each of them with similarly-styled titling? e.g., "Business Meeting: X".

3. We should definitely include all of these. I think they can just be listed in the <event> block with the appropriate speakers listed?

[davidstap]

Thanks for your comments, I'll make sure to include all of these. Due to other commitments this week, I plan to implement these updates and complete the PR early next week. I'll update the thread once the changes are ready for another review.

[mjpost]

Sounds great.

[nschneid]

Will Martha Palmer's Lifetime Achievement Award talk at ACL 2023 (video) be attached to the article version published subsequently in CL? https://aclanthology.org/2024.cl-1.1/

[mjpost]

That's a good idea to attach the videos both as conference plenaries and to their associated CL papers, when present.

[davidstap]

@mjpost This is now ready for review, can you take a look?

(Note that we're missing plenaries for EMNLP 2022. They are not on our server, but they are in the Underline files. I'll reach out to Underline such that they can provide another download link.) (Fixed)
