EMNLP workshop any good? Or any other NLP venue good for VLM eval work? [D]

Reddit r/MachineLearning Events

Summary

A PhD student asks whether submitting vision-language model evaluation work to an EMNLP workshop is worthwhile after rejection from a top imaging venue.

My paper got rejected from an imaging venue (A\*) because it lacked clinical validation and was more "NLP suited". I'm very disappointed by the decision as the paper had strong methods and key findings suited to the specific venue. I'm thinking of EMNLP next, but I feel it is too NLP and my paper for sure will be lost. But I see an EMNLP workshop very suited to the paper. Are such workshops especially at such conferences any good for PhD students? Or should I just wait and try it for any other imaging venue (maybe lower tiered?). I only want publication for my industry switch after my PhD and really wanted a few A\* under my profile. Being honest.
