Machine Translation in a Global Economy – CitC Episode 228

Nikhil Deshpande, Director of HPC and AI Innovations at Intel, and Sid Kashyap, Deep Learning R&D Engineer at Intel, join host Jake Smith to talk about neural machine translation (NMT). The three talk about the role of machine translation in business, why certain sectors like health care and legal services require incredibly accurate results, and the challenges the global community faces around these issues. Nikhil and Sid also discuss why NMT inference is computationally expensive and how an Intel Xeon-based system in the cloud can meet the performance requirements to scale.
