Besides the Dutch-English and Indonesian-English translation systems we offer through our client apps and connectors, we have built neural machine systems for the Turkish-English, Latvian-English and Spanish-English language pairs. Whether you are a professional translator, translation company or a business user, we can put artificial intelligence and deep learning to work for you. If you already have parallel texts (texts with source language & translation) we can use these as a basis for building a customised system for you. If you don't have such material we can usually build a useful baseline system from freely available public resources. Your own neural machine translation system can then be placed on a secure server "in the cloud" or on a dedicated server located in your offices and accessible only on your corporate network.

In 1960, the physicist Eugene Wigner wrote a famous essay titled "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences" in which he explored the question of why mathematics is so remarkably useful in the natural sciences. A contemporary example of such "unreasonable effectiveness" is the success that machine learning has had in transforming many disciplines in the past decade. Particularly impressive is the progress in autonomous vehicles. In the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge for autonomous vehicles, which popularized the idea of driverless cars, none of the vehicles was able to complete a relatively simple route through the Mojave Desert, and I thought it unlikely that I would see driverless cars operating in urban environments in my lifetime. Since that time, progress in this area has been phenomenal, thanks to rapid advances in using machine learning for sensing and navigation (and in building low-cost sensors and controls).
