| Introduction | My dream is to create a free and open source machine translation tool that is so helpful that the United Nations uses it. My theory is that language evolves from the bottom up, and I hope that by combining natural language processing algorithms with machine learning algorithms, genetic algorithms, as well as massive corpora and audio data, we can create much better translation algorithms. I hope to study linguistics and machine learning on the undergraduate level. My back-up plan is investing in open source, building capital, buying out the current commercial competitors in natural language input (such as NaturallySpeaking) and releasing their source under a free software license. |
