Catching a Babel Fish: The Human Brain, Neural Networks, and Learning Foreign Languages
9.99 €
In the not too distant future, will we have a Babel fish - a device for automatic translation from foreign languages? Some will say that technology has already reached such a high level that it will soon replace humans. Some will insist that computers will never be able to translate fiction or work as synchronizers at conferences. This book attempts not just to answer the question about the fish of Babel, but to talk about what language is and where it is stored in the brain, why learning foreign languages contributes to a healthy old age, and how the translator's mind works. Prominent scientists talk about how to learn languages most effectively, translators share their views on the future of their profession, and developers of machine translation systems expose their own plans to take over the multilingual universe.
