Srinivas Bangalore | The Translation Trajectory: From Modeling the Process to Modeling the Product

Feb 17
12:00PM to 1:20PM

While translation technology has granted unprecedented access to global information, the dream of universal communication remains unfulfilled. This talk traces the evolution of Machine Translation (MT) from early 'process-oriented' paradigms to modern 'product-oriented' deep learning models. By examining the strengths of both eras, I will argue that the path to true intercultural understanding lies in a strategic synthesis of these two approaches--bridging the gap between linguistic structure and statistical fluency. --- Event Details: https://my.princeton.edu/rsvp?id=1969692
