Questions tagged [machine-translation]

Machine Translation, a subfield of Natural Language Processing, is the automatic translation of human languages. While historical translators are based on Statistical Machine Translation, newer systems use Neural Networks which provide much better results.

Machine Translation is the automatic translation of human languages. Current examples include Google Translate, Yandex Translate, and Bing Translate, which all are based on Statistical Machine Translation. In the 1990s Babel Fish was the best known service - it used Rules-Based Translation.

In November 2016, Google also introduced a Machine Translation based on Neural Networks ((G)NMT). DeepL introduces a free Machine Translation Service in 2017 which provides measurably better results than Google Translate.
