CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals: NAACL 2015 & ACL 2015 & EMNLP 2015

The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational
Linguistics (NAACL), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL),
and the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
(EMNLP) invite proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction with
NAACL 2015, ACL 2015, or EMNLP 2015. We seek proposals for tutorials in
all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include
disciplines such as linguistics, speech, information retrieval and
multimodal processing. We particularly welcome (1) tutorials that cover
advances in newly emerging areas not previously covered in any
NAACL/ACL/EMNLP related tutorial, or (2) tutorials that provide
introductions into related fields that are potentially relevant for the CL
community (e.g. bioinformatics, social media, human language processing,
machine learning techniques).

Tutorials will be held at one of the following conference venues:

NAACL 2015 is the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the
Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL). It will be held in
Denver, Colorado May 31 - June 5, 2015. The NAACL tutorials will be held
on May 31. The webpage for NAACL 2015 is:
http://naacl.org/naacl-hlt-2015/.

ACL 2015 is the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational
Linguistics. It will be held in Beijing, China, August 16-20, 2015. The
ACL tutorials will be held on August 16. ACL webpage: http://acl2015.org/.

EMNLP 2015 is the SIGDAT conference on Empirical Methods for Natural
Language Processing (EMNLP). The main conference will be held in Lisbon,
Portugal, September 17-21, 2015. The EMNLP tutorials will be held on
September 17.

REMUNERATION:

Information on the payment for tutorial instructors can be found in the
ACL Tutorial Teacher Payment Policy (visit this link to read the policy
http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Tutorial_teacher_payment_policy
).
Please 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:

  1. A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its
relevance to the ACL community (not more than 2 pages).
  2. A brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial's
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.
  3. The names, affiliations, email addresses and websites of the tutorial
instructors, including a one-paragraph statement of their research
interests and areas of expertise.
  4. A list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same
or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate of
the audience size.
  5. A description of special requirements for technical equipment (e.g.,
internet access).
  6. A note specifying which venue(s) (NAACL/ACL/EMNLP) would be acceptable
and/or preferable.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted online by Jan 9th, 2015 through the
START system. The URL for the START submission system will be posted on
the conference websites. Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the
Tutorial Co-Chairs of the three conferences.

TUTORIAL SPEAKER RESPONSIBILITIES

Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by Friday, February 6, 2015,
and must then provide abstracts of their tutorials for inclusion in the
conference registration material by the corresponding deadlines. The
description should be in two formats: an ASCII version that can be
included in email announcements and published on the conference website,
and a PDF version for inclusion in the electronic proceedings (detailed
instructions will be provided). Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial
materials, at least containing copies of the course slides as well as a
bibliography for the material covered in the tutorial, by the deadlines
specified for the three conferences.
