Introduction
===========

The main goal of *SEM is to provide a stable forum for the growing
number of NLP researchers working on different aspects of semantic
processing. We have a fantastic bouquet of accepted papers (list of
accepted papers below). This year’s *SEM conference will be a two-day
event co-located with the 2013 Conference of the North American
Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human
Language Technologies (NAACL HLT). Also SemEval 2013 will take place
on June 14-15.

*SEM coincides with ICML from June 16.

*SEM will feature the Shared Task on Semantic Textual Similarity
