ACL-IJCNLP 2009会议进行时二

　　自然语言处理与计算语言学界的顶级会议ACL-IJCNLP2009前天已在新加坡结束，但是无论在其官方主页还是官方博客上，我还是无法找到大会最佳论文的最终结果，不知道各位读者现在有没有知道的？如果知道，请帮忙在这里留个言，非常感谢。
　　关于大会最佳论文（Best Paper Awards），在其Handbook上有如下描述：
　　“In the ACL and IJCNLP traditions, one or more of the conference’s scientific contributors will be awarded Best Paper Awards. The conference also recognizes significant student contributions through Best Student Paper Awards. The recipients will be announced in a plenary session at the end of the conference and will receive a certificate."

　　ACL的许多大会最佳论文都成了经典之作，以下是我统计的01年以来历届ACL会议（包括几届联合举行的会议）的大会最佳论文：

　　ACL2001：
　　U. Germann, M. Jahr, K. Knight, D. Marcu, and K. Yamada: Fast Decoding and Optimal Decoding for Machine Translation

　　ACL2002：
　　Franz Josef Och, Hermann Ney: Discriminative Training and Maximum Entropy Models for Statistical Machine Translation

　　ACL2003：
　　Yukiko Nakano, Gabe Reinstein, Tom Stocky and Justine Cassell: Towards a Model of Face-to-Face Grounding
　　Dan Klein： Accurate Unlexicalized Parsing

　　ACL2004：
　　Diana McCarthy, Rob Koeling, Julie Weeds and John Carroll: Finding Predominant Word Senses in Untagged Text
　　“In this paper they develop a method for selecting the predominant sense of a word from a corpus without sense annotations, using unsupervised thesaurus extraction techniques. The paper was rated highly by the reviewers and PC on quality and innovativeness, and was selected also because it combines two important topics in our field: unsupervised learning and robust semantic analysis.”

　　ACL2005：
　　David Chiang（蒋伟）: A Hierarchical Phrase-Based Model for Statistical Machine Translation
　　“This paper takes the standard phrase-based MT model that is popular in our field (basically, translate a sentence by individually translating phrases and reordering them according to a complicated statistical model) and extends it to take into account hierarchy in phrases, so that you can learn things like “X ’s Y” -> “Y de X” in chinese, where X and Y are arbitrary phrases. This takes a step toward linguistic syntax for MT, which our group is working strongly on, but doesn’t require any linguists to sit down and write out grammars or parse sentences.”

　　COLING-ACL 2006：
　　Rion Snow,Daniel Jurafsky, and Andrew Ng: Semantic Taxonomy Induction from Heterogenous Evidence

　　ACL2007：
　　Y. W. Wong and R. J. Mooney: Learning synchronous grammars for semantic parsing with lambda calculus

　　ACL2008-HLT：
　　Liang Huang（黄亮）：Forest Reranking: Discriminative Parsing with Non-Local. Features. In Proceedings of ACL 2008.
　　按ACL08官方文档的说法，本年度的大会最佳论文称之为“Outstanding Paper Award”，并且同时授予了几篇，我只找到黄亮博士的这一篇获奖文章，欢迎补充。
