Language barriers have always been a challenge in communication. With the advent of globalization, it has become increasingly important to bridge the gap between languages. Machine Translation (MT) is a form of artificial intelligence that is helping to break down language barriers by automatically translating text or speech from one language to another. This article will explore how MT works, its benefits and limitations, and its impact on various industries.
Machine Translation uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze and translate text or speech from one language to another. The process involves three main steps:
Machine Translation can be further divided into two categories: rule-based and statistical.
Recently, Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has emerged as a new paradigm for MT. NMT uses deep learning techniques to learn the relationship between words and their meaning in context. NMT has shown significant improvements in translation quality over RBMT and SMT and is now the dominant approach in MT.
