Yes, they’re good for more than just trippy art-if you're translating a foreign menu or sign with the latest version of Google's Translate app, you're now using a deep neural net. Thanks to convolutional neural networks, not only can computers tell the difference between cats and dogs, they can even recognize different breeds of dogs. Five years ago, if you gave a computer an image of a cat or a dog, it had trouble telling which was which. Neural nets have gotten a lot of attention in the last few years because they’ve set all kinds of records in image recognition. When the Word Lens team joined Google, we were excited for the opportunity to work with some of the leading researchers in deep learning. But how are we able to recognize these new languages? So the next time you’re in Prague and can’t read a menu, we’ve got your back. Today we announced that the Google Translate app now does real-time visual translation of 20 more languages.
