The aim of this Summer School is to introduce PhD students and young researchers into challenging areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The Summer School will consist of lectures by leading experts in the field along with experimental practices. The goal is to provide a forum for researches to interact and get to know the cutting-edge tools in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. We wish to emphasize that this is not a lecture-series covering the fundamentals of NLP but a get-together where latest ideas on NLP can be exchanged.
