IJCNLP 2013

Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 6th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (IJCNLP 2013). The conference is to be held in Nagoya, Japan, October 14-18, 2013. The tutorials will be held on Monday, October 14.

IJCNLP 2013 seeks proposals for tutorials on all topics of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include areas such as speech processing, information retrieval, psycholinguistics and language issues in emerging domains such as social media, bioinformatics, and processing of legal documents. Especially encouraged are tutorials that introduce recent advancements in cross-disciplinary areas such as network analysis, machine learning, and grounding in language processing.

Tutorial presenters will be remunerated according to the following policy:

• An honorarium of US$400 for each six-hour tutorial and US$200 for each three-hour tutorial
• One round trip airline ticket (cheapest economy class) between Nagoya and the closest airport to the speaker's home/institution
• Free main conference registration for one person

Note that the honorarium is per tutorial, not per presenter. In addition, if there is not enough registration (20) by the early registration deadline, the tutorial might be cancelled, in which case the speaker will not receive any honorarium.
