The University of Macau (UM) said yesterday that it has achieved “yet another breakthrough in machine translation.”
According to a UM statement, a research team from the public university recently developed a new system for translation between Cantonese and Putonghua (Mandarin).
The system can “efficiently and accurately” translate text between the two Chinese tongues, the statement said.
The members of the UM Cantonese-Putonghua translation system team pose in this undated handout photo provided by the University of Macau yesterday. The caption provided by the university did not identify anyone in the photo, nor did it say when and where the photo was taken. It merely said: “The NLP2CT interdisciplinary research team”.
