<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> Title: Understanding
all the World's Languages<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> Abstract: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">> The impact of
computer systems that can understand natural language will be
tremendous. To develop this capability we need to be able to
automatically and efficiently analyze large amounts of text. In
the last twenty years, the statistical revolution has brought
tremendous progress, enabling us to build systems for speech
recognition and machine translation that perform impressively
well and are used by millions of people every day. In this talk,
I will review some current challenges and success stories, and
give an outlook of what might be waiting for us in the future.
Particular attention will be paid to how the goal of
understanding all the world's languages involves challenges in
all areas of computer science because of its scale and ambition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">> Slav Petrov is a Senior Research Scientist
in Google's New York office. He works on problems at the
intersection of natural language processing and machine learning.
He is in particular interested in syntactic parsing and its
applications to information extraction, question answering and
machine translation. Prior to Google, Slav completed his PhD
degree at UC Berkeley, where he worked with Dan Klein. He holds a
Master's degree from the Free University of Berlin and was a
member of the FU-Fighters team that won the RoboCup world
championship in 2004. His work on fast and accurate multilingual
syntactic analysis has recently been recognized with best paper
awards at ACL 2011 and NAACL 2012. Slav also teaches a class on
Statistical Natural Language Processing at New York University.</span>
