The mind-blowing AI announcement from Google that you probably missed.

In the closing weeks of 2016, Google published an article that quietly sailed under most people's radars. Which is a shame, because it may just be the most astonishing article about machine learning that I read last year. Don't feel bad if you missed it. Not only was the article competing with the pre-Christmas rush that most of us were navigating -- it was also tucked away on Google's Research Blog, beneath the geektastic headline Zero-Shot Translation with Google's Multilingual Neural Machine Translation System. This doesn't exactly scream must read, does it?
