Call for Expressions of Interest
The tutorial chairs of COLING 2027 invite expressions of interest for tutorials in conjunction with the conference in Macau in May 2027. We seek tutorials in all areas of computational linguistics (CL) / natural language processing (NLP), broadly conceived to include related disciplines. We invite expressions of interest for three types of tutorials:
* Cutting-edge: Tutorials that cover advances in newly emerging areas not recently covered in a tutorial at COLING, LREC, EACL, NAACL-HLT, ACL, AACL, EMNLP or related venue.
* Introductory: Tutorials that provide introductions to related fields that are potentially relevant for the CL / NLP community (e.g., linguistics, bioinformatics, machine learning techniques, human-computer interaction, large language models for non-English languages, etc.).
* Community: Tutorials related to topics relevant for members of the community more generally (e.g. reviewing, good scientific practice, statistical testing, mental health, career planning, etc.).
In all cases, the aim of a tutorial is primarily to help CL/NLP researchers to understand a scientific problem, its tractability, and its theoretical and practical implications. Presentations of particular technological solutions or systems are welcome, provided that they serve as illustrations of broader scientific considerations. None of the tutorial types are expected to be "self-invited" long talks. The content should be a good balance between research from multiple groups and perspectives, not only from the teachers of the tutorial.
Tutorials will be held at COLING between May 9 and May 14, 2027. The specific tutorial days will be confirmed at a later date, together with a full call for proposals. Expressions of interested are intended to help us plan the review process, and as such are highly encouraged, but not mandatory.
Expressions of interest should be submitted by July 24, 2026, via https://forms.gle/GzgjseZpHVmqH75A6 , or as an email to coling27tutorialchairs [at] googlegroups.com, and contain:
* Name and email address of primary presenter
* Proposed title of tutorial
* Type of tutorial
* Optional: anything you would like to tell or ask us
