Facebook's new AI aims to destroy the language barrier

Is there anything AI can't make better? Artificial intelligence can recognize musical genres better than humans, improve our running performance and may soon become standard issue for the mobile devices in our pockets. Facebook, in fact, has found some stunning results in new research using convolutional neural networks (CNN), a type of artificial intelligence that uses the benefit of parallel processing to compete complex tasks. The social networking company's AI research team revealed research that shows these systems can outperform traditional language translation software by a factor of nine. In addition, the source code and trained systems are available under an open source license, making it easy for other researchers to verify and replicate the gains in their own work.
