The latest from Google Research
Google at ACL 2019
Monday, July 29, 2019
Andrew Helton, Editor, Google Research Communications
This week, Florence, Italy hosts the
2019 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(ACL 2019), the premier conference in the field of natural language understanding, covering a broad spectrum of research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language.
As a leader in natural language processing and understanding, and a Diamond Level sponsor of ACL 2019, Google will be on hand to showcase the latest research on syntax, semantics, discourse, conversation, multilingual modeling, sentiment analysis, question answering, summarization, and generally building better systems using labeled and unlabeled data.
If you’re attending ACL 2019, we hope that you’ll stop by the Google booth to meet our researchers and discuss projects and opportunities at Google that go into solving interesting problems for billions of people. Our researchers will also be on hand to demo the
Natural Questions corpus
, the
Multilingual Universal Sentence Encoder
and more. You can also learn more about the Google research being presented at ACL 2019 below (Google affiliations in
