I was preparing some materials for an interpretation course I'll be teaching, and I was checking out some videos on YouTube from the UN General Assembly as possible practice material. I often use YouTube videos of speeches as material for training and evaluating interpreters' readiness to start taking on simultaneous assignments. While working on this, I discovered that YouTube now has autogenerated subtitles. And the subtitles can be auto-translated into whatever language you want. The translated subtitles were good enough between English and Spanish that they actually made it easy to "cheat" on the activity by reading from the subtitles- in other words they were helpful most of the time! All they need to do is add text to speech, and every video will have machine simultaneous interpretation. Once again I ask myself, have we in the language industry become obsolete? I remember the legend of John Henry who died with a hammer in his hand after competing with a machine to build a tunnel through a mountain (and winning). Will I die with a headset on my head? I'm far too biased to be able to weigh in on the future of the language industry objectively- I'm too deep into it. I'm also someone who avoids self checkout lines, restaurants with QR code menus, and who never engages with chatbots, so I may be an outlier in my views on technology. I'm not sure what Rosetta Languages will be doing decades from now, but as long as we are needed, we are at your service, and we are #AlwaysHuman.

An example of bilingual #languagemodel reflecting best practices for the selection, use and maintenance of source #datasets. "Most recent models have been trained on dominantly English corpora, leading to performance drops in other languages and to English-centered cultural bias. With CroissantLLM, we aim to train a model in which English is not the dominant language and go for a 1:1 ratio of English and French data ! One of the challenges was to gather sufficient amounts of high-quality data in French. We collected, filtered and cleaned data from multiple varied sources, in order to target various domains (legal, administrative, cultural, scientific, etc.), or cover different text modalities (speech transcriptions, movie subtitles, encyclopedias, forums, webpages)… All data collected is explicitly listed in the technical report, falls under permissive licenses, and is shared with the rest of the project artefacts." #languagedata #llms #generativeai #aibias #contenteffectiveness

As the world connects more every day, language translation is the secret sauce making it all happen! From businesses going global to sports teams making international plays, translators are the unsung heroes keeping communication clear. But hold up—AI is changing the game. Yesterday, we celebrated International Translation Day, so let's explore why the human touch still reigns supreme in the art of translation.
