DARPA Starts Ultimate Language Translation Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the teach-it-klingon-first-please dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched the ultimate speech translation engine project that would be capable of real-time interpretation of television and radio programs as well as printed or online textual information in order to be summarized, abstracted, and presented to human analysts emphasizing points of particular interest." If combined with the tower of babel project we discussed earlier, it could only lead to awesomeness.

    Just feed this new system a few reruns of Japanese television game shows. After that, we will be safe from automated snooping for at least another decade. As a plus, all artificial intelligence projects at the DARPA will be set back by another decade as well.
