What is Machine Translation?
Machine translation is an application of natural language processing that trains computer models to translate texts between languages. Although machine translation software didn’t have the highest translation accuracy when it was first developed, technological improvements over the decades have meant that such software can now do a pretty accurate job.
Augmented Reality
What is AR? Augmented reality is an enhanced, interactive version of a real-world environment achieved through digital visual elements, sounds, and other sensory stimuli via holographic technology. Augmented reality creates an immersive experience for all its users. Though the most common AR forms are through glasses or a camera lens, interest in AR is growing, and businesses are showcasing more types of lenses and hardware through the marketplace.
Today, deep learning has become pivotal to many of the applications we use every day such as content recommendation systems, translation apps, digital assistants, chatbots and facial recognition systems.
Natural Language Processing
Natural language processing (NLP) refers to the branch of computer science—and more specifically, the branch of artificial intelligence or AI—concerned with giving computers the ability to understand text and spoken words in much the same way human beings can.
