CALL FOR TUTORIALS AND WORKSHOPS

CLIB 2026 invites proposals for tutorials and workshops in all areas of computational linguistics, natural language processing and related fields, which will be held in conjunction with the conference.

Both tutorial and workshop proposals should not exceed 4 pages of content (plus unlimited pages for references) using CLIB paper templates. Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents through the CLIB 2026 EasyChair account using the CLIB 2026 style guidelines and templates, available in the Instructions for Authors section.

Tutorial and workshop proposals are not anonymous.

TUTORIALS

Proposals should contain the following:

  • A title, authors, affiliations, and contact information.
  • A brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the computational linguistics community.
  • The type of tutorial: cutting-edge or introductory.
  • A description of the target audience and any prerequisite background.
  • An outline of the tutorial structure and content for a two- to eight-hour slot.
  • An explanation of how the tutorial incorporates previous research.
  • Recommended reading, a bibliography, and if relevant, a list of programmes or applications.
  • A one-paragraph summary of each instructor’s research interests, expertise, and teaching experience.
  • An estimate of the expected audience size, including information on previous iterations of the tutorial if applicable.
  • A description of any special requirements for technical equipment.
  • A statement of what materials will be available to the attendees: slides, video records, etc.
  • A statement on whether the tutorial materials can be made publicly available on the CLIB 2026 website.

Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated according to its clarity and preparedness, the novelty or timely character of the topic, the instructors’ experience, likely audience interest, open access of the tutorial instructional material.

Accepted tutorial presenters will be notified by the notification deadline. They must then provide abstracts of their tutorials for inclusion in the conference registration material. Tutorial speakers must provide tutorial materials (e.g., slides, bibliography) at least two weeks prior to the date of the tutorial. After the conference, the presenters will be invited to update their slides on the conference website.

WORKSHOPS

Workshop proposals must include:

  • A title and a brief description of the workshop topic and content.
  • A list of invited speakers, if applicable, with an indication of which ones have already agreed.
  • An estimate of the number of attendees.
  • A discussion of measures planned to ensure the workshop is successful and productive for both in-person and virtual attendees.
  • (Optional) A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop and an estimate of the number of participants.
  • A description of special requirements and technical needs.
  • If the workshop has been held before, a summary of where it was held, the number of submissions and acceptances, and the number of attendees.
  • The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organisers, with a brief statement on their research interests, expertise, and organizational experience.
  • A list of Program Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. Organisers should ensure the PC is large enough to handle the expected number of submissions.

The workshop proposals will be evaluated according to their originality and impact, and the quality of the organising team and Programme Committee. The organisers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicising and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, etc.

The timeline for workshop paper submission, reviewing, and camera-ready preparation will be announced after the workshop proposals have been accepted after coordinating deadlines with the CLIB organisers.

Workshop submissions should be ready to be turned into a Call for Papers to the workshop within one week of notification.
