Say It Right: AI Neural Machine Translation Empowers New Speakers To Revitalize Lemko
Abstract Artificial-intelligence powered neural machine translation might soon resuscitate endangered languages by empowering new speakers to communicate in real time using sentences quantifiably closer to the literary norm than those of native speakers, and starting from day one of their language reclamation journey. While Silicon Valley has been investing enormous resources into neural translation technology…
