March 26-27, 2009. We received 63 submissions and all the papers went
through a blind review process by members of the Program Committee.
After careful discussion, 25 of them were selected for oral presentation
and 15 for poster presentation. The accepted papers covered a variety of
topics in natural language processing and its applications, including
word segmentation, phrase and term extraction, chunking and parsing,
semantic labelling, opinion mining, ontology construction, machine
translation, information extraction, document summarization and so on.
On behalf of the Program Committee, we would like to thank all authors
of submitted papers for their support. We wish to extend our

reviewers for their tremendous e?ort and excellent reviews. We
