A history of machine translation from the Cold War to deep learning

I open Google Translate twice as often as Facebook, and the instant translation of the price tags is not a cyberpunk for me anymore. That’s what we call reality. It’s hard to imagine that this is the result of a centennial fight to build the algorithms of machine translation and that there has been no visible success during half of that period.

The precise developments I’ll discuss in this article set the basis of all modern language processing systems—from search engines to voice-controlled microwaves. I’m talking about the evolution and structure of online translation today.

The Building Blocks of Interpretability

In 2015, our early attempts to visualize how neural networks understand images led to psychedelic images. Soon after, we open sourced our code as DeepDream and it grew into a small art movement producing all sorts of amazing things. But we also continued the original line of research behind DeepDream, trying to address one of the most exciting questions in Deep Learning: how do neural networks do what they do?
