EACL 2012, 2nd CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 13th Conference of
the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL 2012), to be held in Avignon, France, from April 23 to April 27,
2012. The selected tutorials will be given on the Monday and Tuesday
preceding the main conference (April 23 and 24).

EACL 2012 seeks proposals for tutorials in all areas of computational
linguistics, broadly conceived to include disciplines such as
linguistics (including phycholinguistics and other subfields), speech,
information retrieval and multimodal processing.

We particularly welcome (1) tutorials which cover advances in newly
emerging areas not previously covered in an (E)ACL related tutorial, or
(2) tutorials which provide introductions into related fields which are
potentially relevant for the CL community (e.g. bioinformatics, social
media, human language processing, machine learning techniques). In order
to gather a widespread audience, the interest of the tutorial and the
quality of the instructors will also be taken into account.

REMUNERATION

Remuneration for tutorials is regulated by ACL policies:
http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Policy_on_tutorial_teacher_payment

The conversion to euros will be done as follows: €550 for up to 20
people, plus €25 per person for registrants between 21 to 50, plus €18
per person for registrants greater than 50.

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 (excluding a coffee
   break). In exceptional cases six-hour tutorial slots are available as
   well.

3. 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.

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).  Proposals should be submitted by electronic
   mail, in plain ASCII text, to tutorials at eacl2012 dot org, no later
   than September 30th 2011.
