Preface
Welcome to the proceedings of the 13th China National Conference on
ComputationalLinguistics(13thCCL)andtheSecondInternationalSymposium
on Natural Language Processing Based on Naturally Annotated Big Data (2nd
NLP-NABD). The conference was hosted by Central China Normal
University.
CCL is anannual conference (bi-annual before 2013)that startedin 1991.It
istheflagshipconferenceoftheChineseInformationProcessingSociety(CIPS),
which is the largest NLP scholar and expert community in China. CCL is a
premier nation-wide forum for disseminating new scholarly and technological
workincomputationallinguistics,withamajoremphasisoncomputerprocessing
of the languages in China such as Mandarin, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Uyghur.
Affiliatedwiththe13thCCL,theSecondInternationalSymposiumonNatu-
ralLanguageProcessingBasedonNaturallyAnnotatedBigData(NLP-NABD)
covered all the NLP topics, with a particular focus on methodologies and tech-
niques relating to naturally annotated big data. In contrast to manually an-
notated data such as treebanks that are constructed for specific NLP tasks,
naturally annotated data come into existence through users’ normal activities,
such as writing, conversation, and interactions on the Web. Although the origi-
nalpurposesofthesedatatypicallywereunrelatedtoNLP,theycannonetheless

patterns (e.g., “Beijing and other cities” implies “Beijing is a city”). This sym-
posium focuses on numerous research challenges ranging from very large scale
unsupervised/semi-supervised machine leaning (deep learning, for instance) of
naturally annotated big data to integration of the learned resources and mod-
els with existing handcrafted “core” resources and “core” language computing
models.NLP-NABD2014issupportedbytheNationalKeyBasicResearchPro-
gramof China (i.e., “973” Program)“Theory and Methods for Cyber-Physical-
Human Space Oriented Web Chinese Information Processing” under grant no.
2014CB340500.
The Program Committee selected 113 papers (86 Chinese papers and 27
English papers) out of 233 submissions from China, Hong Kong (region), and
Macau(region)forpublication.The27Englishpaperscoverthefollowingtopics:
– Word segmentation (1)
VI Preface
– Syntactic analysis and parsing the Web (1)
– Lexical semantics and ontologies (2)
– Semantics (2)
– Discourse, coreference and pragmatics (1)
– Textual entailment (1)
– Language resources and annotation (2)
– Sentiment analysis, opinion mining and text classification (2)
– Large-scale knowledge acquisition and reasoning (1)
– Text mining, open-domain information extraction and machine reading of
the Web (2)
– Machine translation (4)
– Multilinguality in NLP (3)
– Underresourced languages processing (2)
– NLP applications (3)
The final program for the 13th CCL and the Second NLP-NABD was the
result of a great deal of work by many dedicated colleagues. We want to thank,
first of all, the authors who submitted their papers, and thus contributed to
the creation of the high-quality program that allowed us to look forward to an
excitingjointconference.Wearedeeply indebtedtoallthe ProgramCommittee
membersforprovidinghigh-qualityandinsightfulreviewsunderatightschedule.
We are extremely grateful to the sponsors of the conference. Finally, we extend
a special word of thanks to all the colleagues of the Organizing Committee and
Secretariatfor their hardworkin organizingthe conference, andto Springerfor
their assistance in publishing the proceedings in due time.
On behalf of the Program and Organizing Committees, we hope the confer-
ence was interesting for all the participants and that their visit to Wuhan, a
famous andbeautiful historicalandculturalcity in China,was a reallyvaluable
experience.
