AI-based automatic translation system
2018-01-17
The Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry in Japan plans to develop by around 2020 a more precise automatic translation system utilizing artificial intelligence that reads facial expressions. It aims to use the system to support companies' moves to expand overseas, as well as businesses catering to foreign tourists visiting Japan. As the existing AI-based automatic translation system is difficult for the current system to accurately recognize and translate every single word that is spoken, the envisaged AI technology will be capable of scanning environments to collect more information, such as facial expressions, the date and time, and the place a conversation is taking place, making it possible to generate more accurate translations.
