The latest from Google Research
Google at ACL 2020
Monday, July 6, 2020
Posted by Cat Armato and Emily Knapp, Program Managers
This week, the 58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (
ACL 2020
), a premier conference covering a broad spectrum of research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language, takes place online.
As a leader in natural language processing and understanding, and a
Diamond Level sponsor of ACL 2020
, Google will showcase the latest research in the field with over 30 publications, and the organization of and participation in a variety of workshops and tutorials.
If you’re registered for ACL 2020, we hope that you’ll visit the
Google virtual booth
to learn more about the projects and opportunities at Google that go into solving interesting problems for billions of people. You can also learn more about the Google research being presented at ACL 2020 below (Google affiliations
