Google Translate

Which is quite true. But even if Google Translate doesn?t translate language like humans do, there are parallels in the effect, especially in the way Google Translate learns language. Children don?t learn with prescriptive rules and by deconstructing sentence structure. Subjects, nouns, verbs?these are drilled later, once we?re all but fluent. When I spoke to Franz Och, who heads up Google Translate, he told me how, in hindsight, it?s almost obvious that rule-based methods aren?t necessarily as fruitful as data-driven ones. When children learn, ?You just give examples, you interact with the child?grammar is something which is never explicit, it?s always implicit,? he says. ?Just the same, when our system is learning, a lot of the grammar is not explicit?it?s implicit in the model parameters, in what comes out.?
