The Cicling Conferences Provide A Wide-scope Forum For The Discussion Of The Art And Craft Of Natural Language Processing Research As Well As The Best Practices In Its Applications. This Volume Contains ?ve Invited Papers And The Regular Papers Accepted For Oral Presentation At The Conference. The Papers Accepted For Poster Presentation Were Published In A Special Issue Of Another Journal (see The Website For More Information). Since 2001, The Proceedings Of Cicling Conferences Have Been Published In Springer’s Lecture Notes In Computer Science Series, As Volumes 2004, 2276, 2588, 2945, 3406, 3878, 4394, And 4919. This Volume Has Been Structured Into 12 Sections: – Trends And Opportunities – Linguistic Knowledge Representation Formalisms – Corpus Analysis And Lexical Resources – Extraction Of Lexical Knowledge – Morphology And Parsing – Semantics – Word Sense Disambiguation – Machine Translation And Multilinguism – Information Extraction And Text Mining – Information Retrieval And Text Comparison – Text Summarization – Applications To The Humanities A Total Of 167 Papers By 392 Authors From 40 Countries Were Submitted For Evaluation By The International Program Committee, See Tables 1 And 2. This Volume Contains Revised Versions Of 44 Papers, By 120 Authors, Selected For Oral Presentation; The Acceptance Rate Was 26. 3%. This two-volume set, consisting of LNCS 7816 and LNCS 7817, constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Computer Linguistics and Intelligent Processing, CICLING 2013, held on Samos, Greece, in March 2013. The total of 91 contributions presented was carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections named: general techniques; lexical resources; morphology and tokenization; syntax and named entity recognition; word sense disambiguation and coreference resolution; semantics and discourse; sentiment, polarity, subjectivity, and opinion; machine translation and multilingualism; text mining, information extraction, and information retrieval; text summarization; stylometry and text simplification; and applications.
