Fifteen awardees of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Cluster Exploratory Service (CLuE) program have been applying large scale computational resources donated by Google and IBM . Overall, 1,328 researchers have used the cluster to perform over 120 million computing tasks on the cluster and in the process, have published 49 scientific publications, Search Engines News SEO News Google Research Google Research Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:25:40 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=54314 Posted by Lizzy Van Alstine and Jon Vaver, Quantitative Anaylsis Team Advertisers want to be able to measure the effectiveness of their advertising. Many methods have been used to address this need, but the most rigorous and trusted of these are randomized experiments, which involve randomly assigning experimental units to control and test conditions. At Google, we have found that randomized geo experiments are a powerful approach to measuring the effectiveness of advertising.

We're thrilled to be supporting these students with a monetary gift, but what happens after the awards are given out? An important component of our fellowship program is the Google research mentor. Each fellowship student is paired with a full-time Googler based on mutual research interests.

On the language modeling side, the motivation was that we had access to large amounts of typed text data from our users. At the same time, that meant that the users also had a clear expectation for how they would interact with a speech-enabled version of the Google Search application.

Entering characters of a search string one by one using a traditional remote control and onscreen keyboard is extremely tiresome. People have been working on building better ways to search on the TV, ranging from small keyboards to voice input to interesting gestures you might make to let the TV know what you want.

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.
