Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals: NAACL 2015,  ACL 2015 and 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.
