Meta AI Puts A Step Towards Building Universal Translation System
What does the curve arrow in the logo of Amazon signify? It simply portrays that one can get A to Z products from a single platform, making your task easy, right? The same will be the case when it comes to the translation system (production of text in one language from another). To that end, Meta AI announced a new breakthrough and introduced a new multilingual model, outperforming present state-of-the-art bilingual models across 10 out of 14 language pairs, winning the Conference on Machine Translation (WMT) – a prestigious MT competition. The model thus introduced is a step towards building a universal translation system. We built & open sourced the first-ever multilingual model to win the prestigious WMT competition, showing this approach is the future of machine translation.
