Google is not meaningfully ahead of other megacorps in NLP like facebook, and likely based on this thread and other starting to backslide. Google may publish more than others, but only because if you write "we trained our models on 24 specialized TPUs for 1 month" than the reviewers instantly know you work for deep-mind despite "double blind anonymity" and thus you are much more likely to be accepted. Pedigree is not the same as quality.
