[Corpora-List] Call for Tutorial Proposals at NAACL HLT 2012

[Smaranda Muresan]

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 2012 Annual  
Meeting of the North American Association for Computational  
Linguistics (NAACL 2012) (http://www.naaclhlt2012.org/). The  
conference is to be held in Montreal, Canada, June 3-8, 2012. The  
tutorials will be held on Sunday, June 3, 2012.

NAACL 2012 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.

Submission Details

Proposals for tutorials should contain:

A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its  
relevance to the ACL community (not more than 2 pages).

core content can be covered in a three-hour slot (including a coffee  
break). In exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are available as  
well.
The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the  
tutorial instructors, including a one-paragraph statement of their  
research interests and areas of expertise.
A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same

of the audience size.
