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 training
events. Selected papers from most RANLP conferences are
traditionallypublished in a volume as part of John Benjamins’ series
“Current Trends of
Linguistic Research”. The papers accepted at RANLP-09, RANLP-11, and the
associated workshops, were included in the ACL Anthology.

We are pleased to announce the 9th RANLP conference to be held in September
2013. 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 (7-8 September 2013).
Post-conference workshops will be held on 12-13 September 2013. A Student
Research Workshop will be run in parallel to the main conference. The RANLP
Student Research Workshops have become active discussion forums for young
researchers.

 LOCATION

RANLP-2013, like RANLP-11, will be held in AUGUSTA SPA hotel, Hissar.
Hissaror Hisarya
(http://www.augustaspa.com, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisarya,_Bulgaria)
is a famous resort since ancient times; it boasts 22 mineral springs with
water temperatures between 37-52 degree Celsius. Archaeological research
has revealed that a town existed near the springs 5000 years BC. Many years
later Thracians, and after them Romans, settled around the warm springs.
The Roman emperor Diocletian visited the town in 293 and built a fortified
wall around it. The town was named Diocletianopol. Famous archeological
monuments such as:

- the Thracian Tomb of Kazanluk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thracian_Tomb_of_Kazanlak

- and the Tomb at Starosel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starosel)

are located within 20-50 km from Hissar.

TRAVEL

Hissar is situated in the centre of Bulgaria, 40 km north of the city of
Plovdiv and 160 km east of the Bulgarian capital Sofia. Both the
International airports of Sofia and Plovdiv can be used as
arrival/departure points for RANLP-2013. Ryanair is now operating flights
between London Stansted and Frankfurt/Hahn to Plovdiv two times per week.
Sofia Airport is connected to Plovdiv via a highway and it takes only 1
hour and 45 minutes to reach Hissar from Sofia. In addition to the regular
public transport (trains and buses), the organisers will provide shuttle
minibuses from/to Sofia and Plovdiv airports at an inexpensive rate.
