Last week I was in Congress
HLT NAACL (North American Association for Computational Linguistics Human Language Technologies) in Rochester (New York). We presented a paper on automatic acquisition of lexical information ("Automatic Acquisition of Grammatical Types for Nouns", BEL, N.; MIRROR, S., Marimon, M.
PDF).
The conference was very interesting, I would emphasize that there is much work to do in the area of \u200b\u200bcomputational linguistics. Google, which is deeply involved in these issues, presented the results of machine translation. It seems that the best statistical methods to translate Chinese into English. Still only have a 40% success using terabytes of data! The that can sense the complexity of the task.
This week in the U.S. also allowed me to do some sightseeing and verify that indeed, America is like in the movies. It's so funny to go looking like everything that appears in the films you find on the street.
Below you will see some photos of the trip.
