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 international training events. All RANLP conferences in 1995, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 featured keynote talks by leading names in NLP as well as presentations/papers of high quality, rigorously reviewed by a Programme Committee of well-known experts. The acceptance rates for full papers in recent years were as follows: 14% (RANLP-2005), 11% (RANLP-2007) and 10% (RANLP-2009). Selected papers from most RANLP conferences were published in a volume as part of John Benjamins’ series “Current Trends of Linguistic Research”. The conference is preceded by tutorials on current NLP topics and is followed by international workshops. The papers accepted at RANLP-09 and the associated workshops are included in the ACL Anthology.
