Calls for Tutorials

Required Information:

• A title and authors, affiliations, and contact information
• A brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the machine translation community
• Short description of the target audience and any expected prerequisite background the audience should be aware of
• An outline of the tutorial structure content and how it will be covered in a three-hour slot (half-day). In exceptional cases, six-hour tutorial slots (full day) are available. These time limits do not include coffee breaks, e.g., a three-hour tutorial, in fact, occupies a 3.5-hour slot, and a six-hour tutorial occupies a 7-hour slot
• Diversity considerations, e.g. use of multilingual data, indications of how the described methods scale up to various languages or domains, participation of both senior and junior instructors, demographic and geographical diversity of the instructors, plans for how to diversify audience participation, etc.
• Reading list. Work that you expect the audience to read before the tutorial can be indicated by an asterisk. Recommended papers should provide the breadth of authorship and include work by other authors, and work from other disciplines is welcome if relevant
• For each tutorial presenter, a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise for the tutorial topic, as well as experience in instructing an international audience
• An estimate of the audience size for the tutorial. If the same or a similar tutorial has been given before, include information on where any previous version of the tutorial was given and how many attendees the tutorial attracted
• A description of special requirements for technical equipment
