AI Subtitling: Will AI replace subtitle writers?

We’ve previously written about how difficult it is to translate Japanese text using machine translation services – even Godzilla himself couldn’t overcome Google Translate – and we’ll be returning to Japan (or, at least, the collision between Japanese Media and American audiences) for our latest survey of how generative AI is impacting the world of […]

Language AI getting better day by day

Language AI in the News: Closing the Gap to Human Communications

Modern language AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace as innovation and research drives developers to create state-of-the-art language models that continue to inch closer to natural human speech patterns and cognitive reasoning. In our ongoing discussion on language AI and natural language processing (NLP), we have discussed ways in which these technologies have expanded […]

Machine translation on the horizon

MT, NMT, and MTPE in the Age of Natural Language Processing

When trying to understand the distinction between technology-driven translation solutions like machine translation (MT) and neural machine translation (NMT), it can be tempting to seek simpler analogies from beyond the realm of technology. Increasingly, though, parsing the respective advantages of these solutions requires an awareness of distinctions in machine learning and artificial intelligence that will […]

Language AI takes on new challenges

Language AI Learns the Art of Smooth Talking

Last week, we looked at how research on a multilingual knowledge base at Google could be forging the beginnings of truly multilingual language AI, marking one of the more interesting recent technological developments for the localization industry. Now, days later, new reports on a study at Facebook AI Research appears to signal even more compelling developments in NLP (natural language processing) than systems that can cross-reference world idioms. Challenging criticisms that NLP agents tend to be flat approximations of human speakers, it […]

Is AI Multilingual? How New Advances Could Be Pushing Past Language-specific Information Retrieval

Is AI Multilingual? How New Advances Could Be Pushing Past Language-specific Information Retrieval

What if multilingual AI truly had the ability to make assorted connections spanning a broad knowledge of the world sourced from hundreds of languages? When you enter a piece of text in Google Translate using the ‘Detect language’ feature, an algorithm able to recognize the belonging of specific words and patterns to various world languages selects one of many linguistic frameworks at its disposal, then begins the more linear natural language processing (NLP) task of translating your […]

Smarter Language AI Technology

Communication Challenges of Smarter Language AI Technology

Have you ever thought about the importance of AI technology localization and the role it has in your communications? For everyone keeping up with our posts on the latest developments in artificial intelligence, two major themes in how AI technology is impacting communications are likely already familiar points of interest: how AI is changing industries that need communication solutions, […]

Working Towards Tech Regulatory Submissions Translations

Tech Regulatory Submissions Translations for Consumer Protection

This week the Harvard Business Review addressed the need for increased thought leadership in regulatory submissions for the tech world pertaining to cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and smart robotics. As the author highlights, these technologies are so disruptive that the question is not only how they should be regulated, but if governments and regulatory bodies […]

neural machine translation (NMT)

Disruptive So Far: Looking Back at Neural Machine Translation (NMT) Within Natural Language Processing

With news this week that Google has improved some of the key linguistic functionalities of its search engine’s machine learning algorithms – including an AI spell check improvement that Google’s head of search considers more important by itself than the previous five years’ progress – it is an interesting moment in the brief history of […]
