Tutorial abstracts missing

[mjpost]

Many *ACL volumes did not submit tutorial abstracts. These should be in the Anthology as part of the permanent record, and also as a means of gathering the presentations.

Progress status (possibly incomplete list):

• [x] EMNLP:
  • [x] 2018 (thanks to @pkolachi)
  • [x] 2017
  • [x] 2016
  • [x] 2015
  • [x] 2014
• [x] EACL 2017
• [x] ACL 2016

It seems these were often just left out. What we need to do is just manually create the XML for them, along with the abstracts. Now that we don't assume a PDF is available, we'll just leave out the <url> tags and all will be fine.

Here are some instructions:

• First, make sure the conference you want to do has not been checked off the list above.
• Find the web page for the conference you are doing. Hopefully it is still live. You'll be copying metadata from there.
• Fork this repo and switch to the missing_tutorials branch.
• Find the XML for the conference you are interested in, e.g., for ACL 2016, it's P16.xml. The prefix codes are P for ACL, D for EMNLP, N for NAACL, and E for EACL.
• Create a new <volume> entry, copying from the last volume, and incrementing the id attribute.
• In the <meta> block, update the <editor> lines to be the tutorial chairs. Remove <url> and <doi> tags, if present.
• Delete the <frontmatter> block.
• Create a <paper> entry for each tutorial, in order, incrementing the id attribute. Fill out the <title>, <author>, and <abstract> lines. The title should be something like "MAIN CONFERENCE TITLE: Tutorial Abstracts".
• You can check that you've done it right by running jing -c data/xml/scheme.rnc data/xml/XXX.xml, where XXX is the conference you updated.
• Please add the entire tutorial as a single commit.
• Submit a pull request on Github against acl-anthology/missing_tutorials.

You can see an example here (ACL 2018 tutorial abstracts).

Hi, it seems like I can add some of the others too soon (thanks for the easy instructions!). And perhaps I am cross-referencing multiple issues (#298), but does the format allow adding multiple videos for a tutorial, which can be in parts? Looking at Naacl 19 did not help in this.

@pkolachi, yes, there can be multiple <video> elements (as well as <attachment>) per entry.
