Google TraductionGoogle Traduction (Google Translate) est un service de traduction automatique gratuit fourni par Google. Contrairement à d'autres services de traduction comme Babel Fish (supprimé en 2012), AOL et Yahoo! qui utilisent SYSTRAN, Google utilise son propre logiciel de traduction. Le service permet également la traduction de pages Web, même longues. Depuis , une limitation de caractères traduits est posée, mais elle n'affecte pas la traduction d'une page web via son URL.
Statistical machine translationStatistical machine translation (SMT) was a machine translation approach, that superseded the previous, rule-based approach because it required explicit description of each and every linguistic rule, which was costly, and which often did not generalize to other languages. Since 2003, the statistical approach itself has been gradually superseded by the deep learning-based neural network approach. The first ideas of statistical machine translation were introduced by Warren Weaver in 1949, including the ideas of applying Claude Shannon's information theory.
