Conversation
Introduced by metadata corrections 2025-11-14 Note that the affiliations in XML don't always match with what is found on the PDF.

Introduced by metadata corrections 2025-11-14 Pretty meaningless affiliation 'Institute'', but nonetheless. Noticed last author name inconsistent between PDF and metadata: fixed too
Introduced by metadata corrections 2025-11-14 Affiliation and ORCID put back to correct author

Noted another name inconsistency: last author has name Ensaf Hussein 8according to PDF](https://aclanthology.org/2025.arabicnlp-sharedtasks.133.pdf), but metadata says last name Mohamed. In metadata correction issue only updated authors_new but not authors list itself. This author should probably also have name variants recorded, currently 3 author pages (Ensaf Hussein Mohamed, Ensaf Mohamed, Ensaf H. Mohamed) that could probably merge and several metadata PDF inconsistencies. I haven't seen an author page request for this author yet.
