I mentioned to Mike that I was fascinated by this so here's a link.

Google at the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language  
Processing (EMNLP '10)

Posted by Slav Petrov, Research Scientist

The Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing  
(EMNLP '10) was recently held at the MIT Stata Center in  
Massachusetts. Natural Language Processing is at the core of many of  
the things that we do here at Google. Googlers have therefore been  
traditionally part of this research community, participating as  
program committee members, paper authors and attendees.

At this year's EMNLP conference Google Fellow, Amit Singhal gave an  
invited keynote talk on "Challenges in running a commercial search  
engine" where he highlighted some of the exciting opportunities, as  
well as challenges, that Google is currently facing. Furthermore,  
Terry Koo (who recently joined Google), David Sontag (former Google  
PhD Fellowship recipient) and their collaborators from MIT received  
the Fred Jelinek Best Paper Award for their innovative work on  
syntactic parsing with the title "Dual Decomposition for Parsing with  
Non-Projective Head Automata".

Here is a complete list of the papers presented by Googlers at the  
conference:
Dual Decomposition for Parsing with Non-Projective Head Automata (Fred  
Jelinek Best Paper Award) by Terry Koo, Alexander M. Rush, Michael  
Collins, Tommi Jaakkola, and David Sontag
"Poetic" Statistical Machine Translation: Rhyme and Meter (see also
