Meeting Description:

RANLP (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing) is one of the most
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. Previous RANLP conferences (1995, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009,
2011, 2013, and 2015) featured keynote talks by leading experts in NLP, as
well as presentations/papers of high quality, rigorously reviewed by a
Programme Committee of well-known scientists. The papers accepted at RANLP-09,
RANLP-11, RANLP-13, RANLP-2015, and the associated workshops were included in
the ACL Anthology. The RANLP proceedings are indexed by SCOPUS and DBLP. The
conference will be preceded by 4 tutorials on current hot topics and will be
followed by specialized workshops in advanced subfields of NLP. A Student
Research Workshop will be held in parallel to the main conference. The Student
Research Workshops (now in their fifth edition) have become active discussion
forums for young researchers.
