RECENT ADVANCES IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
Varna, Bulgaria
Summer School “Deep Learning and Large Language Models for NLP“:
3-5 September 2025 (Wednesday-Friday)
Tutorials: 6-7 September 2025 (Saturday-Sunday)
Main Conference: 8-10 September 2025 (Monday-Wednesday)
Workshops and Shared tasks: 11-13 September 2025 (Thursday-Saturday)
The biennial RANLP (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing) conference is one of the most competitive and influential NLP conferences. The event 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, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023) featured keynote talks by leading experts in NLP as well as presentations/papers of high quality, rigorously reviewed by Programme Committee experts. Since 2009, the papers accepted at RANLP and the associated workshops are included in the ACL Anthology. The RANLP proceedings are indexed by SCOPUS and DBLP. The Proceedings has its own Scopus SJR, in 2023 it is 0,299. The conference will be preceded by a Summer School on Deep Learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) for Natural Language Processing (NLP) as well as tutorials on current topics of particular interest and cutting edge technologies. RANLP-2025 will be followed by specialised workshops as well as shared tasks covering timely NLP topics. A Student Research Workshop will be held in parallel with the main conference. The Student Research Workshops (now the 9th edition) have become active discussion fora for young researchers.
