As we recently discussed in our ongoing look at linguistic AI, natural language processing (NLP) is an established technology with astonishing real-world applications in areas such as machine translation that nevertheless seems often to be on the sidelines of newsworthy developments in more experimental areas like natural language generation (NLG). Now, however, NLP is getting a new infusion from the cutting-edge of computer science with reports from Cambridge Quantum on their development of […]

Over the past year, anyone following our series on language AI is likely familiar with the GTP-3 language model. As far as natural language generation (NLG) goes, the GTP-3 represents a new era of superior language AI. But now, it is not alone. When given abstract prompts, the GTP-3 showcased its ability to reflect human […]

A lot has been happening in the month since our last look at the state of language AI, but many of the core themes we explored in July continue to circulate the news. Toward the question of how AI learns that we took up in our look at the significance of analogies, a novel study […]

What do human linguists have that linguistic AI doesn’t? No longer a question just for the localization industry and machine translation, how well AI can replace people in communications is a shifting story in the world at large, and often a sensationalist one. A long view of developments suggests the true answer to what AI lacks is much more elusive than any one type of computational power, but the search for a specific mechanism is important not only to computer science but also psychology and biology today, as discovery continues […]

In our ongoing exploration of linguistic AI, how close to life the creations of a neural network can come is a persistent question for both machine translation and more experimental fields like natural language generation (NLG), simply in terms of whether any living person would communicate the way these machines do. But as algorithms like […]

For anyone who thought we had reached it, language AI seems not to have a ceiling in 2021, with news this week of even more powerful models than GPT-3 and new applications of the former suggesting it could be a vital link to general artificial intelligence (the hypothetical AI of all things). GPT-3 is a […]

As CSOFT observes Mental Health Awareness Month this May, developments in language AI that are rapidly changing the possibilities of mental health care make a fitting topic for our continued exploration of the many ways AI is changing the communications landscape across fields and industries. At this time for recognizing an aspect of health that […]

CSOFT is excited to announce the launch of our Coffee and Conversations podcast! CSOFT International and CSOFT Health Sciences are so excited to produce a podcast where listeners can tune in to learn more about the life sciences and language services industry. Featuring experts from a diverse range of industries and fields, we hope the […]

Chemical translations may not sound like an obvious tool needed for environmental sustainability, but in fact, they are a key requirement for the advancement of green industries worldwide. Every year on April 22nd, CSOFT commemorates Earth Day. Reflecting on this year’s theme, ‘Restore the Planet’, CSOFT understands the importance of environmental responsibility and corporate sustainability […]

As MT (machine translation) continues to advance year on year, it is a fine time to take note of the kinds of breakthroughs we can be glad it is not making. As recently hyped breakthroughs in language AI continue to evolve, text generation models like GPT-3 are raising renewed commotion this week as recognition grows […]
