Zero-Shot Translation with Google Neural Machine Translation System

By

NewsHubGoogle announced late last year that it had applied machine learning to its Google translate service, resulting in a neural network capable of « zero-shot » translation.
Zero-shot is translating phrases for language pairs where no explicit training or mapping exists. The trained neural network surprised researchers when it evidence of an interlingua emerged as a path for translating previously unpaired languages and phrase. Researchers indicated that data visualizations of the new system in action provided early evidence of shared semantic representations or interlingua between languages. This is presented as evidence of the neural network generating it’s own procedures for more efficient translation all by itself.
Google Translate trajectory over the past 10 years is from a few languages to 103 supported languages, translating over 140 billion languages per day. Motivations for implementing neural network to improve accuracy and efficiency are the many successes of neural network application in other fields.
A key question presented in the findings is whether or not one can translate between a language pair that hadn’t been paired before, but might have some secondary path connecting them, for example English to Korean, Korean to Japanese, and then inferencing English to Japanese.
The team claimed they could implement the model without changing the core Translate model, which includes encoder, decoder and attention. Some details of GNMT indicate using a bidirectional recurrent neural network to encode words passed to a decoder tp predict target language words, but it’s not immediately clear what the similarities or disimilarities are between this model and the zero-shot translation model, detailed in a recent research publication. Google claimed the GNMT reduces translation errors by an average of 60% compared to Google’s phrase-based production system… [and] on the WMT’14 English-to-French and English-to-German benchmarks, GNMT achieves competitive results to state-of-the-art. Using a human side-by-side evaluation on a set of isolated simple sentences, it reduces translation errors by an average of 60% compared to Google’s phrase-based production system.
Input words are tagged with a target language, but not a source language. Google noted that, Not specifying the source language has the potential disadvantage that words with the same spelling but different meaning from different source languages can be ambiguous to translate, but the advantage is that it is simpler and we can handle input with code-switching. We find that in almost all cases context provides enough language evidence to produce the correct translation.
The zero-shot network consists of a deep LSTM network with 8 encoder and 8 decoder layers using attention and residual connections … [and] learn(s) to perform implicit bridging between language pairs never seen explicitly during training, showing that transfer learning and zero-shot translation is possible for neural translation.
While immediate improvement in translation quality was evident, scalability presents itself as a focus of continued efforts to have the solution support all 103 languages. The publically available, production version of the GNMT system serves 10 of 16 recent language additions.

Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn Reteam for Thriller 'Dragged Across Concrete' (Exclusive)

Borys Kit
After first teaming up on the Oscar-nominated war movie Hacksaw Ridge , Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn are pairing up again for Dragged Across Concrete , a gritty crime thriller from Bone Tomahawk filmmaker S. Craig Zahler.
Bloom will introduce the project to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin, with WME repping U. S. rights.
Keith Kjarval of Unified Pictures is producing along with Zahler’s frequent collaborators, Dallas Sonnier of Cinestate and Assemble Media’s Jack Heller. Kjarval’s Unified Film Fund I is financing.
The script centers on two policemen, one an old-timer (Gibson), the other his volatile younger partner (Vaughn), who find themselves suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics become the media’s cause du jour. Low on cash and with no other options, these two embittered soldiers descend into the criminal underworld to gain their just due, but instead find far more than they wanted awaiting them in the shadows.
Vaughn is coming off of chewy, scene-stealing work in Hacksaw Ridge , which Gibson directed. The movie has fought it way to six Oscar nominations, including ones for best director and best picture. The movie also swept the 2017 Australian Film Academy’s prizes and earned three Golden Globe and two SAG nominations.
Concrete will also mark a reteaming of Vaughn with Zahler. The actor last year wrapped production on Zahler’s Brawl in Cell Block 99 , a prison drama that also counts Jennifer Carpenter and Don Johnson in its cast.
Gibson is repped by CAA and Hansen Jacobson, Vaughn by WME and Jackoway Tyerman. Zahler is repped by UTA, Cinestate and Ziffren Brittenham

West Bank settlement evacuation started by Israeli forces

NewsHubIsraeli forces have started an operation to evacuate settlers from a West Bank outpost whose slated destruction could rupture Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s narrow coalition.
Unarmed police in blue sweatshirts and black baseball caps made their way up the hill at Amona at about midday on Wednesday.
On the hilltop, youngsters erected makeshift barricades from smashed tiles, rusty metal bars and large rocks to slow their advance to the settlement which houses 250 people.
Some protesters threw rocks at security forces while others set fire to rubbish piles.
Activists gathered in homes, praying, singing religious songs and dancing.
Residents have said they plan to resist their evacuation peacefully. Some chained themselves to heavy objects and locked their doors.
A few residents left their homes with young children in the arms.
Shortly after noon, bulldozers began making their way up the hill, one of them clearing a path.
Several activists crawled under a house and chained themselves to its foundations while ot hers pleaded with officers to refuse their orders.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said that as part of « the dialogue » with residents ahead of the evacuation, one of the families handed over a bag of stun grenades.
Amona is the largest of about 100 unauthorised outposts erected in the West Bank without permission but generally tolerated by the Israeli government.
Israel’s Supreme Court ruled in 2014 that Amona was built on private Palestinian land and must be demolished. It has set February 8 as the final date for it to be destroyed.
The outpost, built in the 1990s, stretches out over a rugged, grassy hilltop and looks out across the valley onto Palestinian villages.
In 2006, also on February 1, Israeli police demolished nine homes at Amona, setting off violent clashes pitting settlers and their supporters against police and soldiers.
The fate of Amona has threatened to destabilise Mr Netanyahu’s narrow coalition that includes the pro-settler party Jewish Home and other hardliners.
However, it is unlikely that Amona’s demise would be sufficient to topple the government as the nationalist parties have too much to lose by leaving Mr Netanyahu’s government at this stage.
Speaking at Israel’s parliament as the evacuation was in process, education minister Naftali Bennett – leader of the Jewish Home Party – called the Amona settlers « heroes » and vowed to « build a new settlement.  »

Embrace unfamiliar flavours at this authentic Korean eatery in Joburg

NewsHubSet to become an  »it » foodie trend, Korean cuisine is a complex, unfamiliar, often very healthy, and super-social way to eat.
Tucked at the back of Early Dawn Mall in Rivonia’s  »Chinatown », Dae Jang Kum is an authentic Korean restaurant catering mainly to expats. The menu is cryptic, very little English is spoken, and the rhythm of a Korean meal is quite difficult to work out, so a little bit of study before dinner can be useful.
All the food served is meant to be shared, so order as a group. At the start of a meal a collection of small plates, like Asian tapas, called banchan will arrive. These free sides can be eaten at any stage and with any of the main dishes.
The most famous is kimchi, a delicious red mess of fermented cabbage, radish, and chilli peppers, which has become international shorthand for Korean food. Many other banchan are hard to identify, of unusual colour and/or texture, but are all delicious.
For your mains, order a range of different dishes. Try cold noodle soup like naengmyun (you may not like it but that’s no reason not to expand your culinary horizon). What you will like, however, are the hot soups. Their pungent spiciness comes from the red gochujang chilli sauce that you’ll come to crave. Order a vegetarian soup (kimchi jjigae) and a hearty seafood hotpot (haemul jeongol).
Definitely include an order of bibimbap, a rice dish with meat and egg which is scrambled at the table. And give your braai-master skills a go with a Korean barbecue (galbi) of ribs, bacon or pork belly, cooked on a grill at your table.
The tastes and originality of a Korean dinner will make sweet and sour pork seem like a kiddie’s meal in comparison.
WHEN TO GO For a long, relaxed Friday dinner.
WHO TO TAKE A group of adventurous eaters and/or friends who taught English in Korea.
WHAT NOT TO DO Don’t be intimidated. Do a little research, know what to order and what to expect.
WHAT TO DRINK Iced tea, Korean beer or rice wine.
WHO YOU’LL SEE Solitary Chinese and Japanese businessmen, Korean families with surly teenagers, and almost never any other South Africans.
HOW MUCH YOU NEED R300 per head.
ADDRESS Dae Jang Kum, No 20 9th Ave, Rivonia, Sandton, Shop 22-24, Early Dawn Mall, 011-234-7292.

NewsHubAfter sending an email to employees expressing Apple’s opposition to the Trump administration’s new immigration restrictions, Apple CEO Tim Cook is now making a forceful stand.
“More than any country in the world, this country is strong because of our immigrant background and our capacity and ability as people to welcome people from all kinds of backgrounds,” Cook told the Wall Street Journal . “That’s what makes us special. We ought to pause and really think deeply through that.”
The executive order has directly affected Apple employees, who have reached out to Cook to share their stories and make sure Apple leadership is aware of the immigration ban’s real-world impact.
Other tech companies are also considering legal action or have already acted. Amazon is backing a lawsuit against the Trump administration brought by Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, announced on Monday.
“This executive order is one we do not support,” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wrote in a letter to employees. “Our public policy team in D. C. has reached out to senior administration officials to make our opposition clear. We’ve also reached out to congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to explore legislative options. Our legal team has prepared a declaration of support for the Washington State Attorney General who will be filing suit against the order. We are working other legal options as well.”
