- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) researchers believe they’ve created the first machine translation system that can translate sentences of news articles from Chinese to English as well as a person.
- The researchers say the system achieved human parity on the newstest2017 test set, which was developed by industry and academic partners last year.
- The achievement can bolster Microsoft’s commercial translation products available in multiple languages and paves the way for testing in other languages and with more complex vocabulary.
