Who’s Afraid of Neural Machine Translation? Not Us!
Will innovations in Neural machine translation technology herald the end for professional translators, or help fill in the gaps?
In almost any industry these days, technology tends to come up in table talk as the big bad wolf that’s coming to eat up your job. While this may be the cause for alarm for several professions (accountants, salespersons, and office clerks, beware!), most still require a human touch that no AI is yet able to replicate.
Recent inroads in neural machine translation have brought AI a significant step toward parity with human translation, but will this impact the translation industry’s bottom line? To learn more about the machine translation trends in this industry, keep on reading!
The Current Landscape of Machine Translation
Before we get started, let’s first define what it is? At Tomedes, we describe Machine translation (MT) as any translation process that solely relies on a computer program
