ACL-07 Call for Tutorial Proposals
The Association for Computational Linguistics invites proposals for
the Tutorial Program for the 45th Annual Meeting of the Association
for Computational Linguistics (ACL-07), to be held in Prague, Czech
Republic, from June 24 to June 29, 2007. The tutorials will be held
on June 24, 2007.
Proposals for tutorials on all topics of computational linguistics
and its applications are sought. Especially encouraged are
cross-disciplinary tutorials that educate the community about recent
technical advancements in neighboring disciplines that are of
interest to computational linguistics, or introduce relevant
algorithms and theory that may be "old hat" to specialists in these
areas but are still unfamiliar to part of the natural language
processing community.
The ACL has a set of policies on tutorials. You can find general
information on policies regarding financial support of ACL tutorials,
at the following URL:

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, 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

estimate
of the audience size.
5. A description of special requirements for technical equipment (e.g.,
internet access).
