Google announced a new project, the purpose of which is to develop a language model based on artificial intelligence (AI) capable of supporting “1000 of the world’s most widely spoken languages”. As a first step towards that goal, the firm has unveiled an early version of the technology, trained in over 400 languages, which it already describes as “the largest language coverage seen in a voice model to date.”

According to a report published The Verge, Google intends to expand on two sections that have always been present in his products, such as language and AI- through achievements in machine learning (machine learning)being the development of more powerful and multifunctional large linguistic models, a concrete basis for this ambitious undertaking.

Google wants to create a unified language system

Google has already begun integrating its new linguistic models into several of its products, such as Google search. Such schemas are capable of performing many activities such as language generation and translation. However, the 1000 Languages ​​Initiative, presented by Mountain View it does not focus on specific functionality, but tries to create a system with a wide range of knowledge in all the languages ​​of the planet (or at least the most common ones).

Zubin Gahramanivice president of research Google AIhe said to the aforementioned portal The Verge that the firm believes that building a model of this colossal size will facilitate the emergence of various AI features in languages ​​underrepresented in online spaces or training datasets for the technology.

“By having a single model that is exposed and trained in many different languages, we get much better performance in our low-resource languages.”points grahramani. “We don’t get 1000 languages ​​by creating 1000 different models. Languages ​​are like organisms, they evolved from each other and have certain similarities.

A Google project with limitless possibilities

Google He mentioned that he has no specific plans for where to apply the functionality of this model, but he hopes that it can be used in several of his products, where it can make a significant difference as they are. Google translatorsubtitles YouTube and many others.

“One of the really cool things about large language models and language research in general is that they can do so many different things. The same language model can convert robot commands into code, solve mathematical problems, or translate. linguistic models is that they become repositories of a lot of knowledge, and by exploring them in different ways, you can come up with different useful functions.he claimed Gahramani.
