Graph theory is a well studied discipline, and so is the field of natural language processing. Traditionally, these two areas of study have been perceived as distinct, with different algorithms, different applications, and different potential end-users. However, as recent research work has shown, the two disciplines are in fact intimately connected, with a large variety of natural language processing applications finding efficient solutions within graph-theoretical frameworks.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on problems related to the use of graph-based algorithms for natural language processing. The workshop is expected to bring together people working on areas as diverse as lexical semantics, text summarization, text mining, ontology construction, clustering and learning, connected by the common underlying theme consisting of the use of graph-theoretical methods for text processing tasks.
