ACL 2011: Call for Tutorial Proposals

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 49th Annual
Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language
Technologies (ACL HLT 2011). The conference is to be held in Portland,
Oregon, USA, June 19-24, 2011. The tutorials will be held on Sunday,
June 19, 2011.

ACL HLT 2011 seeks proposals for tutorials on all topics of
computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include areas such as
psycholinguistics, speech, information retrieval, multimodal language
processing, and language issues in emerging domains such as
bioinformatics. Especially encouraged are tutorials that educate the
community about advancements in cross-disciplinary areas such as machine
learning and cognitive approaches as they relate to computational
linguistics, as well as tutorials that span multiple areas of human
language processing.

Information on the tutorial instructor payment policy can be found at
http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Tutorial_teacher_payment_policy

Note: Remuneration for Tutorial presenters is fixed according to the
above policy and does not cover registration fees for the main
conference.
