Google's AI translation tool seems to have invented its own language

#artificialintelligence

Back in September 2016, Google launched its Neural Machine Translation (GNMT) system, which uses deep learning to deliver more natural translations between languages. Google Translate originally supported only a handful of languages when it launched 10 years ago; today that number has risen to 103. Creating a computer system to translate multiple languages is complex. The people at Google who built it wanted to find out just how clever their system was. So they came up with a challenge.

Creating a computer system to translate multiple languages is complex. The people at Google who built it wanted to find out just how clever their system was. So they came up with a challenge. They taught the machine to translate English to Japanese and vice versa. Then they taught it to translate English to Korean and also the reverse translation.


Google's AI translation tool seems to have invented its own secret internal language

All right, don't panic, but computers have created their own secret language and are probably talking about us right now. Well, that's kind of an oversimplification, and the last part is just plain untrue. But there is a fascinating and existentially challenging development that Google's AI researchers recently happened across. You may remember that back in September, Google announced that its Neural Machine Translation system had gone live. It uses deep learning to produce better, more natural translations between languages. Following on this success, GNMT's creators were curious about something.
