Kyoto Computer Association.

At the same time as Xinghai held a product launch conference, Professor Liu Chenglin and his two graduate students, Zhang Yao and Jiang Qisen, also tested Xiaobai's translator.

From newspapers and magazines to English books, to academic papers, scientific literature, and more, the test lasts up to three hours.

The result is needless to say.

Professor Liu Chenglin looked at the results and did not speak for a long time.

There was amazement, excitement, but more than that, relief.

If you look at conventional translation alone, Xiaobai Translator is not so earth-shattering, and the accuracy rate of conventional translation machines on the market can reach more than 95%.

If you are traveling abroad, it is barely enough.

However, if it is scientific materials, literature, and business English, this is not the case, and the translated meaning is often completely different.

Countless researchers and students have to spend a lot of time and energy learning English in order to understand English literature or write papers.

Now with the Little White Translator, these are no longer a problem.

They can devote more time and energy to scientific research experiments.

It can be said that Xiaobai Translator is a great gospel for all national researchers in the world whose native language is not English.

……

Li Haitao, product director of Sogou Machine Translation, is always paying attention to industry trends.

At half past four in the afternoon, he received the news just after the Xinghai product launch conference.

He then tested the product as soon as possible.

Xiaobai Translator PC and APP have been launched.

The regular version is free to try, but there is a limit on the number of translated texts, up to 1,000 words per registered user per day.

This is already very conscientious, you must know that professional translation is very expensive, generally ordinary English translation is about 1000 words/200, and professional translation should reach 1,000 words/500.

And Xinghai gives users 1,000 words of free translation every day, which is a blessing for many people who don't have too many translation requirements.

As for exceeding this number, you need to open a VIP, and you will be charged according to the number of translated words. And those companies with high demand, such as publishing and editing agencies and companies like Dianniang Chinese Network, need to negotiate separately.

Li Haitao registered as a member, and then tested Xiaobai's translator, and the results shocked him.

He never expected that the conventional translation accuracy of this translator would reach 100%, and he would not even see a single wrong word when an ordinary article was translated.

And then the same is true for English to Chinese.

Continue the experiment.

Li Haitao and several Sogou machine translation researchers found some English materials and papers for translation.

The result is needless to say.

Li Haitao was so shocked that the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost.

He had imagined that one day, when natural language processing matured, language would no longer be an obstacle for human beings, but he never imagined that this day would come so quickly.

The big era of natural language processing is here!

That night, Xiaobai Translator made the front page headlines of major news.

Many people don't believe that machine translation can be better than professional translators at first.

But with the release of the test video, they are slowly coming to terms with this fact.

Then the majority of netizens also launched a heated discussion about this.

"Firecrackers GIF / Celebrate with the whole world. ”

"Hahahahahahaha~ I don't know English, I haven't dared to go abroad, but I can book a ticket tomorrow. ”

"Crying/I just got my English 8 certificate and I'm about to look for a job, can anyone tell me what I should do next?"

"I'm ditto! I'm going to rely on translating short stories into English, and I'm done with the eggs. ”

"VIP translation is really expensive, 1,000 words cost 50 yuan......"

For researchers and ordinary people, the birth of Xiaobai Translator is naturally a thing worth celebrating, but for those foreign language majors, especially English professionals, and countless people who rely on translation for food, it is tantamount to a catastrophic thing.

Within three days of the product launch, a large number of foreign language translators lost their jobs.

Except for some small languages and translators with high professional requirements, those ordinary translators with a professional level of eight are basically without exception.

According to a rough estimate, no less than 500,000 people have been affected nationwide.

Chen Xu could only say sorry for this.

The wheels of the development of the times are rolling forward, and it is impossible to stop because it harms the interests of certain people.

Of course, the chain of interests in English is too long and too broad to completely turn things around in a short period of time.

……

Xingjian Technology was stepped through the threshold by companies that came to negotiate business.

The daily progress of making money is no longer enough to describe the speed of making money for Xiaobai Translator.

The money printing press can't keep up.

Companies in Europe and the United States that smell business opportunities also come to negotiate agency business.

It's not about selling machines, it's about licensing the technology to them, and they're going to assemble them themselves, or embedded products, whatever they want, Xinghai only needs to charge the licensing fee at home.

This is how tech giants play, not to go down and compete abroad with their own products.

With the popularity of the business, Xinghai Technology has recruited a large number of personnel to develop peripheral products.

In addition, Qi Wenbin also began to expand the company's industrial line.

This product launch made him see the importance of the mouthpiece.

Xinghai Technology has three heavyweight companies, but so far it doesn't even have its own web portal, and the product launch conference has to rely on other companies, which is really unreasonable.

After consulting Chen Xu, Qi Wenbin began to prepare for the establishment of the portal.

After the meeting and discussion, a total of 3 websites were established, including "Xinghai Science and Technology News", "First News Network", and "Xinghai Education Network".

Eminiac has provided technical support for several websites.

A powerful web crawler will organize what's happening around the world and put it in front of the site's editors and reviewers.

They are responsible for filtering and putting this information in front of the user.

At the same time, he also began to prepare for the formation of his own press corps.

In addition to the mouthpiece, the cultural industry and the education industry should also be promoted simultaneously.

Pan-entertainment is a major trend, and this goes without saying.

Xinghai now has two entertainment industries, Xinbo Network Culture Company and Zhengfeng Entertainment Technology, and will set up a film and television company, a publishing company, a tourism and leisure company, a stationery company and so on.

And it's already ready to start.

With a white translator in front, even if the project fails, it can be consumed.

In addition to the entertainment industry, the education industry is also a very important place.

One of the large international companies counts as one, which one is not involved in the education industry?

Fixed-point training of talents, for the development and growth of the company, to deliver the best quality talent team.

That's why Xinghai Education Network was established together this time.

In addition to entertainment and education, can we also get involved in medical care? For example, the establishment of the Xinghai chain of hospitals.

Regarding this question, Qi Wenbin has not yet asked Chen Xu.

Xinghai Laboratory, Minxi District.

After nearly half a month of hard work, the superconducting material simulation program was finally written......
