Since then, CAT software has achieved huge growth, and the translation industry has been elevated to a brand-new level. Initially, CAT started as a software tool that can only be used…

Neural Machine Translation

Let’s continue the Machine Translation voyage! Our time travel continues with an actual revolution, called Neural Machine Translation (NMT)! NMT is the use of neural networks to teach a statistical model how to accurately perform automated translations. It uses artificial intelligence to learn languages and continuously improve its knowledge. It’s meant to mimic the neural…
