Latest revision as of 08:57, 10 August 2024

This year, as in previous years, the call for submissions, reviewing, and selection of tutorials were coordinated jointly for multiple conferences:

  • EACL 2024 in Malta, March 17-22, 2024
  • NAACL-HLT 2024 in Mexico City, June 16-21, 2024
  • ACL 2024 in Bangkok, August 12-17, 2024
  • EMNLP 2024 in Miami, November 12-16, 2024

The tutorial chairs overseeing the call and review of proposals are:

  • EACL: Sharid Loáiciga, Mohsen Mesgar
  • NAACL-HLT: Rui Zhang, Nathan Schneider, Snigdha Chaturvedi
  • ACL: Luis Chiruzzo, Hung-yi Lee, Leonardo Ribeiro
  • EMNLP: The tutorial chairs were not determined when the call for tutorials was released.

The deadline for the joint call for tutorials is September 1st. More information about the call for tutorials can be found here:

We are using START as the submission management system:

A total of 27 tutorial submissions were received. The tutorial chairs of the participating conferences served as the reviewers. 23 tutorials were accepted. We have confirmation from ACL Event Director Jenn Rachford that six tutorials can be presented at ACL. So, six tutorials were selected to be presented at ACL. The information about the tutorials is below:

For the time slot logic, the goal is to avoid scheduling tutorials on related topics at the same time (for example, "Watermarking of LLMs" and "Vulnerabilities of LLMs").


Note on the Tutorial Exchange: An unusual tutorial exchange occurred this year. The tutorial "AI for Science in the Era of Large Language Models" was originally accepted and selected by ACL. However, three out of four presenters faced difficulties obtaining visas for Thailand. As a result, the authors requested to present at other conferences. To accommodate this, we sought to exchange the tutorial with EMNLP. Fortunately, the EMNLP 2024 Tutorial Chairs found a tutorial titled “Computational Linguistics for Brain Encoding and Decoding: Principles, Practices, and Beyond” that was willing to swap. Therefore, we exchanged "AI for Science in the Era of Large Language Models" with “Computational Linguistics for Brain Encoding and Decoding: Principles, Practices, and Beyond.”


We used Overleaf to generate the information about each tutorial, as well as a message to the ACL attendees for the conference handbook.
