  On this family summer trip to Asia, I've admittedly been relying heavily on Google Translate. As someone who lives in the world of APIs, that makes me think of "its API,"^ the Google Cloud Translation API. Pure translation, though, is not the same as finding the right words (although they're similar), and that makes me think of natural language understanding (NLU).

• Betula – federated bookmarking software for the independent web

  The word "betula" in Hebrew means "virgin". Was this intentional? I almost spat out my dinner. https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%D7%91%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%94&op=translate. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• No "Zero-Shot" Without Exponential Data

  Honestly, these are some of my favorite stories and I think more ML people need to learn more about mythology (I say this as a ML researcher btw). Because once you go down this path you start to understand how "Rino" == "Unicorn". You have to really think about how to explain things when you're working with a limited language.

• How do you create your own flashcards when immersing yourself in TL content?

  For me, the method depends mainly from the resources I have. For Spanish I'm using spanishdict.com and it has a convienient way to create lists of words, so I just save a new word I see and then after some time I convert that into flashcards. For German I'm using collinsdictionary.com which I use as a normal dictionary, so usually I either create new cards while immersing myself or write them down to a file and... Source: over 1 year ago

• How to improve grammar for native English speakers?

  The best way to improve your vocabulary is to read more. Read good-quality material (classic novels and quality newspapers, not social media or tabloids). Whenever you encounter a word you don't know, look it up in a dictionary and note what it means in the context of what you are reading. (Don't just Google it as you can't be sure that what you find is true.) If you don't own a dictionary, then... Source: about 2 years ago
