Confirmed: Deep Learning Is Coming to Google Translate Slator

Google confirmed they plan to improve Google Translate's accuracy through artificial intelligence called deep learning. Deep learning is an advanced model of machine learning where an algorithm takes what it has already "learned" (data previously processed) and uses it to form new ways to solve problems in a pattern. Jeff Dean, Google Senior Fellow, confirmed that his team has been working with the Google Translate team to "scale out experiments with translation based on deep learning." Deep learning and technologies derived from it, including deep and recurrent neural nets, are objectively excellent at tackling sequential problems such as speech and image recognition, as long as there is sufficient existing material to train them. On that front, Google Translate's vast data trove of translated material should indeed prove quite useful.
