NLP is in a period of disruptive change that is impacting our methodologies,funding sources, and public perception. In this work, we seek to understand howto shape our future by better understanding our past. We study factors thatshape NLP as a field, including culture, incentives, and infrastructure byconducting long-form interviews with 26 NLP researchers of varying seniority,research area, institution, and social identity. Our interviewees identifycyclical patterns in the field, as well as new shifts without historicalparallel, including changes in benchmark culture and software infrastructure.We complement this discussion with quantitative analysis of citation,authorship, and language use in the ACL Anthology over time. We conclude bydiscussing shared visions, concerns, and hopes for the future of NLP. We hopethat this study of our field's past and present can prompt informed discussionof our community's implicit norms and more deliberate action to consciouslyshape the future.
