# Apologies for cross-postings Second Call For Tutorial Proposals COLING/ACL'06 Tutorial proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of COLING/ACL'06, to be held in Sydney, Australia, July 17th-21st, 2006 (see www.coling2006.org or www.acl2006.org). COLING/ACL'06 combines the Joint 21st International Conference on Computational Linguistics and the 44th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (COLING/ACL'06). The tutorials will be held on the weekend preceding the conference. 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 semantic processing, machine learning, statistics, or data mining technology 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: http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/tutorial-payment-policy.html. SUBMISSION DETAILS Proposals for tutorials should contain: * A title and brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the COLING/ACL community (not more than 2 pages). * 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. * 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 or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere; otherwise an estimate of the audience size. * A description of special requirements for technical equipment (e.g., internet access). Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text no later than January 5, 2006 to Claire.Gardent@loria.fr The subject line should be: "COLING/ACL'06 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL". PLEASE NOTE: PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY REGULAR MAIL OR FAX. TUTORIAL SPEAKER RESPONSIBILITIES Accepted tutorial speakers will be notified by January 20, 2006, and must then provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference registration material by April 10, 2006. The description should be in three formats: a LaTeX version that fits onto 1/2 page; an ASCII version that can be included with the email announcement; and an HTML version that can be included on the conference web site. 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 June 6, 2006. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline for tutorial proposals: January 5, 2006 Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2006 Tutorial descriptions due: April 10, 2006 Tutorial course material due: June 6, 2006 Tutorial date: July 16, 2006 TUTORIALS CHAIR Claire Gardent, CNRS/Nancy Please send inquiries concerning COLING/ACL'06 tutorials to Claire.Gardent@loria.fr
