Climbing the Tower of Babel: Perfecting Machine Translation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249450658)

Machine translation of language isn't rocket science. It's even more difficult. Despite revolutionary leaps in hardware, software, and linguistics throughout the 20th century, technology has delivered only rudimentary solutions for a handful of the world's 6800 languages. By 2035, however, advances in computers and artificial intelligence, the convergence of information-based devices, and the maturity of linguistics and programming tools will dissolve barriers to language and bring game-changing transparency to this greatest human challenge. Perfect machine translation will permit instantaneous availability of all languages, fusion with video and imagery data-streams, and unprecedented multi-domain awareness. In short, machine translation will guarantee communication and understanding. Accordingly, the Air Force and the Department of Defense must plan now to integrate this spectacular capability to further a gamut of national security interests.
