Google Translate taps into Deep Learning to reduce errors by 60%

The go to place for quick and easy translations – Google Translate – just received a huge upgrade with Deep Learning algorithms boosting its translation capabilities and reducing errors by 60%. Google's experiments with neural machine translation pays off in a big manner. Like most translation services, Google Translate too relied on breaking down sentences into smaller phrases or groups of words and then translated these phrases which were later joined together to produce the output. With Neural Machine Translation, Google Translate can translate entire sentences without breaking them in phrases. This new approach has been said to reduce errors by at least 60 percent compared to the previous phrase based approach.
