It’s #FutureFridays and today I’ll be talking about how the future of travel and bridging language barriers is here and now!
Have you ever had fear of traveling to certain places simply because they speak a different language unfamiliar to you?
Did you know that today, there is already a form of technology that will allow you to bridge that gap?
And if you didn’t know, all it takes is for you to install an app on your phone and you’re done.
The future of bridging language barriers is here, and it’s called Google Translate.
See the real world usage on the video below, and watch as this English-speaking guy travels to Japan using Google Translate to communicate.
He even ran across a Chinese guy, and the app allowed him to switch languages instantly to be able to communicate.
Watch the video below.
Do you want to learn?
Now if you’re interested in understanding how this bit of technology works, and you would want to learn how to build your own translator, then I can help you.
The field that you would want to dive into is called Deep Learning.
If this is term is new to you, then I would recommend you read my last #futurefridays article where you’ll learn the difference between AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning.
As you progress in this field, you’ll eventually learn that you can build your own language translator using Tensorflow.
So if you’re a beginner, and would want to specialize in Deep Learning for you to break into the AI industry, there is a learning path for you.
This course is taught by Andrew Ng, CEO/Founder Landing AI; Co-founder, Coursera; Adjunct Professor, Stanford University; formerly Chief Scientist, Baidu and founding lead of Google Brain.
