     I've done a little bit of work in both fields. I think the similarities are rather striking and have often taken code written for one domain and reused it for the other. In my experience, looking at both problems together has been somewhat helpful, but not tremendously helpful. Potentially... who knows.
 
     If you like Monte Carlo go, you'll probably like Statistical Machine Translation. Anyway, here is a link to a remarkably well written description that tells you how it works and how to do it. IIRC it made quite an impact when it first came out.
