CL 2013 Tutorial Chairs Report

Prepared July 8, 2013.
Keith Hall (Google Research)
Johan Bos (University of Groningen)

General Schedule:
Submission deadline for tutorial proposals: March 6, 2013
Notification of acceptance: April 3, 2013
Tutorial descriptions due: May 15, 2013
Tutorial course material due: June 7, 2013
Tutorial date: August 4, 2013.
We coordinated the deadlines with Publication Chairs and Local Organizers.

Call and selection procedure:
The call for proposals (CFP) was first posted at the ACL website in December
2012 and a final call was also sent to high-volume NLP/computational linguistics
mailing lists (e.g., CORPORA list, linguist list, SIGSEM members). Submissions
were handled through the start system
(https://www.softconf.com/acl2013/tutorials). We received 25 proposals and
accepted seven tutorials; six of these were accepted as half-day tutorials and
one as a full-day tutorial. We used the following criteria for evaluation:
appropriateness, technical fit, novelty, potential interest, presenters, and
experience. All proposals were evaluated by both chairs; the final selection
was based on the scores we assigned through start. The final selection was
uncontroversial (we agreed on the best of the submissions).

Selected tutorials:

Proceedings:
We have received the final abstracts for the tutorials (which include a
description as well as a schedule). These were submitted through the START
system and have been passed along to the publications chair. We are currently
in the process of collecting all of the course materials from each of the
presenters. There has been some confusion as to what will be done with this
material and what form it should take. Many presenters have hundreds of slides
for their courses and no other course information. In the future, if we wish to
have separate course-notes in addition to the slides, we recommend making this
clear to the authors from the start.
