RANLP-2011

RANLP (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing) is one of the most established and competitive NLP conferences. The event is held biennially and grew out of the International summer schools 'Contemporary Topics in Computational Linguistics' which were organised for many years as international training events. All RANLP conferences in 1995, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 featured keynote talks by leading names in NLP as well as presentations/papers of high quality, rigorously reviewed by a Programme Committee of well-known experts. The acceptance rates for full papers in recent years were as follows: 14% (RANLP-2005), 11% (RANLP-2007) and 10% (RANLP-2009). Selected papers from most RANLP conferences were published in a volume as part of John Benjamins' series 'Current Trends of Linguistic Research'. The conference is preceded by tutorials on current NLP topics and is followed by international workshops. The papers accepted at RANLP-09 and the associated workshops are included in the ACL Anthology.

RANLP-11 will be held in Hissar, Bulgaria. Located in the Rila mountains, it is one of most popular tourist resorts in South-East Europe. Hotel Samokov, the event venue, offers excellent conference and leisure facilities. 

The conference will take the form of addresses from invited keynote speakers plus presentations of peer-reviewed individual papers. There will also be an exhibition area for poster and demo sessions. The conference will be preceded by two days of tutorials (10-11 September 2011). Post-conference workshops will be held on 15-16 September 2011. 

RANLP-2011 will feature six Keynote Speakers: 

Roberto Cencioni (European Commission, DG INFSO) 
Ido Dagan (Bar Ilan University) 
Patrick Hanks (University of the West of England, Bristol and University of Wolverhampton)
Inderjeet Mani (Children's Organization of Southeast Asia)
