Google at ACL 2011
Wednesday, May 18, 2011
Posted by Ryan McDonald and Fernando Pereira, Research Team
The Annual Meeting of the
Association for Computational Linguistics
is one of the premier conferences for language and text technologies. Many employees at Google have strong roots in the community of researchers that attend this meeting, including many of our researchers working on
machine translation
and
speech
.
At
this years conference
, Google is particularly well represented. The General Chair is
Dekang Lin
and a few Googlers are serving as technical
Area Chairs
(in addition to the plethora of Googlers that reviewed papers for the conference). Google is also a
Platinum Sponsor
of ACL this year.
Research advances at Google can be seen throughout the conference’s technical content. Below is a complete list of Googler-authored or co-authored papers in the main conference. We want to give special emphasis to this year’s best paper award, given to “
Unsupervised Part-of-Speech Tagging with Bilingual Graph-Based Projections
” by CMU graduate student and Google intern
Dipanjan Das
and his internship advisor
Slav Petrov
. ACL is an extremely selective conference and this award speaks volumes to the importance of
syntactic analysis
and using bilingual corpora to project syntactic resources from resource rich languages (like English) to other languages. Congratulations Dipanjan and Slav!
Googlers are also involved in two of this year’s tutorials.
Marius Pasca
will present “
Web Search Queries as a Corpus
” and
Kuzman Ganchev
and his colleagues will teach about “
Rich Prior Knowledge in Learning for Natural Language Processing
”. Finally,
Katja Filippova
and her colleagues are running a workshop on “
Monolingual Text-to-Text Generation
”.
ACL will take place this year in Portland from June 19th to June 24th.
