Will Machine Learning and neural networks solve the machine translation

It already happened. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2114748-google-translate-ai-invents-its-own-language-to-translate-with/

Check out Word Lens for your smartphone (iOS for me). Blew me away. Uses your camera for live video and translates on the screen in real time.

Why is google so obsessed with that sort of thing? What are (((They))) planning?

>>60585961
Academic science text yes.
Average language full of references,culture,human relations,idiographic symbols in long long long time.

Skynet or the singularity, whichever happens first.

Word Lens was bought by Google and is no longer available.
Look it up on Wikipedia.

As long as this is the current method to get google translation results, I am neither impressed nor concerned.
It has the same problem machine translation has had since I started studying CL, accuracy among language pairs with similar concepts of speech and a huge corpus, blatantly ridiculous results among all of the rest. A self inventing interlingua is surely interesting, though.

But they're better than bing, so much is safe.

To get money. It's the simple aim to stay ahead of the competition in order to not lose your customers, because customers staying to produce data is the new method to genereate income by handling this data. If you have a service that works, people will use it and produce data. This data can be used to either monetize it directly or to make your product better at making people produce data.

>an optimizer built to build and optimize optimizers is better at building and optimization of optimizers than a human competitor
No shit, it's like saying a hammer can bang in a nail better than the guy that built the hammer.

They just added Japanese support in January. It's part of google something now.

>>60586695
Yeah, word lens is now built into the google translator app.

It's still quite handy. Used it in Japan a lot, the translations still are terribad but you can get a hint on unknown words.

3 decades minimum. Statistical inference isn't the best thing to use for translation, but the industry as well as research) is stuck

>>60585961
I want the kind of translator they have in mass effect.
