Ingest NLPAICS

[mjpost]

closes #8094

Administrative checklist:

• Make sure the branch is merged with the latest master branch
• Ensure that there are editors listed in the <meta> block
• In the Github sidebar, add the PR to the current milestone
• In the Github sidebar, under "Development", link to the corresponding ingestion issue (if applicable)
• Ensure ORCID iDs are present for (most) authors
• Ensure OpenReview IDs are present for all authors if it is an OpenReview venue
• For workshops, add a <venue>ws</venue> tag to its meta block
• For workshops, add a backlink from the main event's <event> block
• Add events to their relevant SIGs

Navigate to the preview site and check the following:

• Verify that volume titles are consistent with past years (click on the venue link to see them)
• Skim through the complete listing, looking for mis-parsed author names
• Download the frontmatter and verify that the table of contents matches at least three randomly-selected papers
• Download 3–5 PDFs (including the first and last one) and make sure they match the paper's metadata (title, authors, page numbers, etc)
• Search the PDFs for "Anonymous ACL submission" or similar to identify non-final uploaded papers

After the PR is closed, for all events:

• Archive the ingestion materials in format YYYY-MM-DD-{event}

Create followup issues for the following tasks (usually just for ACL events)

• Create DOIs
• Ingest videos
• Add awards

@mbollmann The new people that were added (using the library via ingest.py) were placed at the end of people.json; is this a bug?

Strange; I'll check.

Build successful. Some useful links:

• Complete site preview: https://preview.aclanthology.org/ingest-nlpaics

This preview will be removed when the branch is merged.

Right, it doesn’t sort them during saving; I think my reasoning was that the dictionary is ordered so will be sorted correctly anyway after loading, but that doesn’t account for new additions, of course. Duh!

[mbollmann]

Fixing in #9393, will delay the new release by a little bit until checks pass. sigs.json wasn’t actually entirely sorted!
