summaryIn this talk I will describe some ongoing work towards a universal representation of morphology and syntax that makes it possible to model different languages in a consistent way. I will then describe some techniques for projecting syntactic information across language boundaries, allowing us to build models for languages with no labeled training data. Finally, I will highlight some examples of how we have successfully used syntax at Google to improve downstream applications like question answering and machine translation. This work is carried out at Google by teams in New York, Mountain View and London.
