Following the workshops held in conjunction to the International Conferences "Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing" RANLP-2005, RANLP-07, RANLP-2009, and RANLP-2011, we are pleased to announce a call for workshop proposals for RANLP-2013.

RANLP 2013 invites the submission of workshop proposals on any topic of interest to the Natural Language Processing (NLP) community, ranging from fundamental research issues to more applied industrial or commercial aspects. The format of the workshop will be determined by the organisers. Workshops can vary in length from a half day to full 1-2 days and can also feature demo sessions. Accepted workshops will receive one free registration to RANLP-2013 (full registration incl. tutorials, workshop, conference, reception, conference dinner).

VENUE

The workshops will take place at the AUGUSTA SPA Hotel, Hissar, the main RANLP-2013 conference venue. If more than 10 workshops are selected, the RANLP-2013 organisers will provide space at some of the neighbouring hotels in Hissar.

Workshop invited speakers: If the workshop organisers intend to host an invited talk, it is recommended that they invite somebody from the main conference keynote speakers or participants.

Link to a workshop's web page;
Publishing the workshop proceedings;
Providing the workshop venue;
