Meeting Description:

COLING, the International Conference on Computational Linguistics, is one of the premier conferences for natural language processing and computational linguistics.

First established in 1965, the biennial COLING conference is held in diverse parts of the globe and attracts participants from many research centers. Today, the most important developments in our field are taking place not only in universities and academic research institutes but also in industrial research departments, including tech startups. COLING provides opportunities for all these communities to showcase their exciting discovery.

The 31st International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2025) will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, January 19-24 2025.

Call for Tutorials

The 2025 International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2025) invites proposals for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference. We seek proposals in all areas of natural language processing and computation, language resources (LRs) and evaluation, including spoken language, sign language, and multimodal interaction.

We invite proposals for three types of tutorials, and we especially encourage submissions from early-career researchers:

Cutting-edge: tutorials that cover advances in newly emerging areas. The tutorials are expected to give a brief introduction to the topic, but participants are assumed to have some prior knowledge of the topic. The focus of the class will be on discussing the most recent developments in the field, and it will spend a considerable amount of time pointing out open research questions and important novel research directions.

Introductory to computational linguistics/NLP topics: tutorials that provide introductions to topics that are established in the COLING communities. The lecturers provide an overview of the development of the field from the beginning until now. Attendees are not expected to come with prior knowledge. They acquire sufficient understanding of the topic to understand the most recent research in the field.

Introduction to Key Concepts in Linguistics including Semantics, Syntax, Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, and Sociolinguistics: tutorials that provide introductions to topics that are established or emerging in areas adjacent to CL/NLP. The lecturers provide an overview of the development of the field from the beginning until now. Attendees are not expected to come with prior knowledge. They acquire a sufficient understanding of the topic to understand the most recent research in the field and the relevance for the CL/NLP domains.

Each of these types of tutorials can either be half-day (4h long including a coffee break (30m long)) or full-day (8h long including two coffee breaks (1h long in total) but excluding a lunch break).

In all cases, the aim of a tutorial is primarily to help 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 fromof the teachers of the tutorial.

The tutorials will be held at COLING 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 19 and 20 January, 2025.

Important Dates
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”).
