Galaxy S24 Real-time Translation with Neural Machine Translation (NMT)

Cutting-edge AI translation technology is breaking down language barriers and making global communication more accessible than ever. Powered by Neural Machine Translation (NMT), translation technology is rapidly advancing, encompassing not only text but also voice and video, enabling real-time interpretation and multimodal translation.

Language is No Longer a Barrier

In the past, language served as a formidable barrier separating cultures and ethnicities. However, with the advancements in AI technology, this wall is steadily crumbling. You can scan a menu with your smartphone camera and instantly get a translated version in another language, and with a single app, you can enjoy interpretation anywhere in the world.

At the heart of this revolutionary AI translation technology lies 'Neural Machine Translation (NMT).' NMT leverages deep learning techniques to translate entire sentences. Unlike traditional statistical-based translation methods, it analyzes the context and interrelationships between words within a sentence to grasp the true meaning.

NMT Principle: Understanding Context for Enhanced Accuracy

The NMT translation process is divided into two stages: 'encoder' and 'decoder.' The encoder converts the input sentence into unique vectors for each word, extracting contextual information. Subsequently, in the decoder stage, the generated vectors acquire weights and are translated one by one.

For instance, the word 'night' can be interpreted as 'night and day (time)' or 'chestnut' depending on the context of other words within the sentence. This ability to grasp context and accurately convey meaning is the core principle of NMT.

Multilingual Voice Translation: Real-Time Interpretation Becomes Possible

NMT technology is expanding its reach beyond text translation to encompass voice and video translation. Meta's 'Seamless M4T' model can seamlessly recognize and translate over 100 languages. Google's 'Universal Speech Model' is capable of translating voice from over 400 languages.

Based on these advancements, Samsung Electronics has incorporated a real-time translation feature into the Galaxy S24 that translates spoken words into text. SK Telecom has launched a real-time interpretation service called 'A.' during calls, and AI startups are showcasing multilingual real-time interpretation technology for online video conferences.

In this era where cultural and language barriers are fading, the importance of translation technology is greater than ever. AI translation technology is rapidly evolving to meet the demands of the global age and will continue to be utilized in a diverse range of fields, ultimately connecting the world as one.
