FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
RANLP 2023 – 14th Conference RECENT ADVANCES IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
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 (1995-2021) 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.
After 2009, the papers accepted at the RANLP conferences and the associated workshops аre included in the ACL Anthology.
The RANLP proceedings is indexed by SCOPUS and DBLP. After 2017, all accepted papers have DOI numbers. The conference will be preceded by a summer school ‘Deep learning in NLP’, tutorials on current hot topics and will be followed by specialised workshops in advanced subfields of NLP.
The Student Research Workshops (now in their 8th edition) have become active discussion forums for young researchers.
Call for workshop proposals: December 2022
Expected conference submission deadline: end of April/beginning of May 2023
