Google Translate Tech Talk
In celebration of National Translation Day, join Arne Mauser for a tech talk on “Machine Translation: What it is, how it works, and why it matters”. Now with 80 supported languages, Google Translate breaks down the language barrier for millions of people every day, helping people to connect, share and learn. Come along to the tech talk with Arne Mauser and get to know how Google Translate works, how people use it, and how we as engineers can have a positive impact on people’s lives.
About Arne: I did my Master’s at RWTH Aachen University in Germany (2005) followed by a PhD on Machine Translation (I did not technically graduate yet but this is still in the works!) In 2010 I did an internship on the Google Translate team based in Mountain View and joined the same team as a full time Software Engineer in 2011. The main things I work on now are getting new languages supported and improving overall translation quality.

Those looking for internships or full-time opportunities are welcome!

APM Pitch-a-palooza
Get your product proposal on with some current Google APMs to practice the first steps in defining a new product, starting with brainstorming ideas and ending with the big pitch. We’ll provide you the seed of an idea and some interesting constraints, but it’s up to you to bring the creativity. We’ll also give you lots of tips on how to create a focused, well-defined, winning product. Winners get prizes!
