We are pleased to announce that the dates for RANLP’07 have been finalised

organised for more than 17 years, and previous conferences held in 1995,
1997, 2001, 2003 and 2005, RANLP has become one of the most influential,
competitive and far-reaching conferences, with wide international
participation from all over the world. Featuring leading lights in the
area as keynote speakers or tutorial speakers, RANLP has now grown into a
larger-scale meeting with accompanying workshops and other events. In
addition to the 6 keynote speeches and tutorials on hot NLP topics,
RANLP07 will be accompanied by workshops and shared task competitions.

Volumes of selected papers are traditionally published by John Benjamins
Publishers and previous conferences have enjoyed support from the European
Commission.
