The HLT/NAACL 2004 Conference Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be presented at the HLT/NAACL 2004 conference, which will be held at The Park Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA, on May 2-7, 2004. Tutorials will be held on Sunday, May 2.

Introductory half-day tutorials covering topics in Speech Processing, Information Retrieval, and Text Processing are sought; topics in one area that will be of interest to researchers in the others are especially encouraged. Our target is to have approximately six tutorials in total.

CONFERENCE BACKGROUND

HLT/NAACL 2004 combines the HLT (Human Language Technology) and NAACL (North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics) conference series. For details please see http://www.hlt-naacl04.org.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Proposals for tutorials should contain:

  • A title and brief (2-page max) description of the tutorial topic and content.
  • If approximately the same tutorial has been given elsewhere, please list previous venues and approximate audience sizes. (Nothing wrong with this; we'd just like to know.)
  • An estimate of the audience size.
  • The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.
  • A description of special requirements for technical needs (computer infrastructure, etc).

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in PDF (preferred), plain ASCII, or Microsoft Word text as soon as possible, but no later than November 1, 2003. Submissions should be sent to

hlt-naacl-tutorials@ling.ucsd.edu

with the subject line "HLT/NAACL 2004 TUTORIAL PROPOSAL".

PLEASE NOTE: PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY REGULAR MAIL OR FAX.

PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS

Accepted tutorial presenters must provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference registration material by February 15, 2004. The description must be provided in two formats: an ASCII version that can be included with the email announcement, and an HTML version that can be included on the conference home page.

Organizers must provide full tutorial notes to the Proceedings Chair by March 17, 2004.

FINANCES

Tutorials must be financially self-supporting. The conference organizers will establish tutorial registration rates so as to provide the room, audio-visual equipment, internet access, snacks for breaks, and the tutorial notes. A description of any additional anticipated expenses must be included in the proposal.

Tutorial presenters will be compensated per ACL policies; see http://www.cis.udel.edu/~carberry/ACL/tutorial-payment-policy.html.
