When a model predicts who speaks next, is there only one right answer?
Kubo et al. argue turn-taking is inherently ambiguous and propose scoring models' predictions as distributions, not yes/no labels.

Yans、1/3は英語にしたら普通にaclにありそうなんだけどな...1/3はinlg, lrec,sigdialあたり、残りもどっかには通るはず。一番強調したいのは、酷いやつがなかったこと。これは素晴らしくて、ボトムのクオリティが高いなと思った。てことで次は論文書くタイムなんだけど、さてどうやったら論文書いてくれるかな...

やっぱ日本も中国と同様に、CCFみたいなtier表作るべきだと思う。nlpだとacl/emnlp/naacl/colingのmain、longしか認められないみたいな。日本人、査読の質はいいとか、採択率がーとか、我田引水の変な基準勝手に持ってきて、自分の業績アピールするように低いところにどんどん流れていくから、厳しめだったとしても基準作った方がいいと思う。aclとかでもmainはほぼいなくて、findings/ws/聴講で日本人大量にいるのはあまりにも情けない。んで、sigdial/inlgみたいな3rd/4th tierの学会に溜まってるんだもん...

今年の反省としては、もうARRに関しては他の分野の会議と被る時は他を優先してロードを0にすること。ARRは6回あるが、Feb/Mar（ACLに対応）は可、Apr/May（EMNLPに対応）はInterspeech/SIGDIAL/IROSと被るから不可、Jun/Jul（AACL-IJCNLPに対応）は可、Aug/Sep（特に対応なし？）はASRU/SLTと被るので不可、Oct/Nov（EACLに対応）はICASSPと被るので不可、Dec/Jan（NAACLに対応）は可、とかか？この運用だと概ね以前引き受けていた会議査読に対応する気がする
