- Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT), announced September 27, 2016, which, unlike the phrase-based system Google Translate had used since launch, translates whole sentences as a unit with recurrent neural networks and attention; in side-by-side ratings by bilingual human raters it cut translation errors by 55% to 85% on several major language pairs, and it launched in production for Chinese to English, about 18 million translations a day, running on TensorFlow and Tensor Processing Units.
