Google is one, if not the biggest, contributor to AI development today, and you can find AI in almost every Google product, from the Smart Reply feature in Gmail, to auto complete in Google Search, to the next suggested video in YouTube, to the Portrait mode feature on the Pixel 2 XL smartphone, to Google Assistant in your Google Home.
But what else has Google been using AI for?
More accurate translations
You may not know this, but in November 2016, Google Translate switched from its old sentence-based translation system to a new one based on neural networks.
Google’s Neural Machine Translation system translates whole sentences at a time, rather than just piece by piece. It uses this broader context to help it figure out the most relevant translation, which it then rearranges and adjusts to be more like a human speaking with proper grammar. Since it’s easier to understand each sentence, translated paragraphs and articles are a lot smoother and easier to read. Additionally, the network learns over time, meaning that every time it translates something, it gets better and better.

LOOKING BACK…
It was a season to remember. It was a season to forget. Either way, you look at it, it was the strangest of seasons for San Francisco that you will ever see. Looking back at the year that was to illustrate that point, The Niner Report has assembled the best, worst and most unconventional of the 49ers’ 2020 season.
ROOKIE REVIEW
