I present a semi-scientific study of six publicly available AI detectors that purport to detect whether a text was written by generative AI or a human. I study the accuracy of these AI detectors with a sample of different scientific texts which were 100% written by humans, and one text
With all the hype about ChatGPT, I decided to try it out myself, asking it to explain the concept of neural machine translation and a more exotic concept from my particle physics research past. Feel free to compare its explanation of NMT to my earlier blog posts. The upshot of
Recently, claims have surfaced that neural machine translation (NMT) produces the same quality as human translators, that is, several NMT providers claim to have achieved or even exceeded human parity. In this article I want to investigate these claims of human parity. An introduction to neural machine translation can be
So, now I have your attention with that title, let’s delve into the real, less anthropomorphizing question: Is neural machine translation (NMT) biased? I was inspired to write this blog post after watching the documentary Coded Bias (available on Netflix) and a follow-up panel discussion entitled “Is AI racist?” (AI
If you are in any way connected with the world of translation and interpretation, you have certainly asked yourself at least one of the above questions about neural machine translation (NMT). These questions are by no means easy to answer. If you ask n experts, you’ll likely get n+1 different
You can find the slides for my presentation “An Introduction to Neural Machine Translation” at the 59th Annual Conference of the American Translators Association here. The handouts summarizing my presentation at ATA58 on neural networks in general can be found here.
I will be giving another presentation at the upcoming ATA Annual Conference in New Orleans, ATA59, jointly in the SciTech and Language Technology tracks. The presentation will give an introduction to neural machine translation. My talk is preliminarily scheduled for the very last time slot on Saturday before the final
For the readers who have been wondering whether I have made any progress with my neural machine translation project, indeed, I have. I have successfully installed and run OpenNMT with the default settings as in the tutorial, though the resulting translations were fairly terrible. This was to be expected, since

Updated: December 2017 Before deciding on a toolkit, I needed to get an overview over the various open-source neural machine translation (MT) toolkits that are available at the time of writing (September 2017). In the following, I will summarize the features of the various toolkits from my point of view.
