Title: Proceedings of the 58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Tutorial Abstracts
Abstract: A reviewing process was organised so that each proposal receives 3 reviews.The selection criteria included clarity, preparedness, novelty, timeliness, instructors' experience, likely audience, open access to the teaching materials, diversity (multilingualism, gender, age and geolocation) and the compatibility of preferred venues.A total of 43 tutorial submissions were received, of which 8 were selected for presentation at ACL.We solicited two types of tutorials, including cutting-edge themes and introductory themes.The 8 tutorials for ACL include of 3 introductory tutorials and 5 cutting-edge tutorials.The introductory tutorials are dedicated to reviewing, ethics and commonsense reasoning in NLP.The cutting-edge discussions address interpretability of neural NLP, multi-modal information extraction and dialogue, stylized text generation, and open-domain question answering.We would like to thank the tutorial authors for their contributions and flexibility while organising the conference virtually.We are also grateful to the 11 external reviewers for their generous help in the decision process.Finally, our thanks go to the conference organizers for effective collaboration, and in particular to the general chair Dan Jurafsky,
