Introduction
===========
The main goal of *SEM is to provide a stable forum for the growing number of NLP researchers working on different aspects of semantic processing. We have a fantastic bouquet of accepted papers  (list of accepted papers below). This year’s *SEM conference will be a two-day event co-located with the 2013 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT). Also SemEval 2013 will take place on June 14-15. *SEM coincides with ICML from June 16. 
*SEM will feature the  Shared Task on Semantic Textual Similarity
