The tutorial chairs of COLING 2027 invite expressions of interest for tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference in Macau, China, in May 2027. We seek tutorials in all areas of computational linguistics (CL) / natural language processing (NLP), broadly conceived to include related disciplines.

We invite expressions of interest for three types of tutorials:

Cutting-edge: Tutorials that cover advances in newly emerging areas not recently covered in a tutorial at COLING, LREC, EACL, NAACL-HLT, ACL, AACL, EMNLP or related venues.

Introductory: Tutorials that provide introductions to related fields that are potentially relevant for the CL/NLP community (e.g., linguistics, bioinformatics, machine learning techniques, human-computer interaction, large language models for non-English languages, etc.).

Community: Tutorials related to topics relevant for members of the community more generally (e.g., reviewing, good scientific practice, statistical testing, mental health, career planning, etc.).

In all cases, the aim of a tutorial is primarily to help CL/NLP researchers 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 from the teachers of the tutorial.

Tutorials will be held at COLING 2027 between May 9 and May 14, 2027. The specific tutorial days will be confirmed at a later date, together with a full call for proposals. Expressions of interest are intended to help us plan the review process and, as such, are highly encouraged, but not mandatory.
