Google India: Google, while bringing its multitude of products to India, has been faced with one challenge all this while – the vast diversity in terms of language. While all over the world, it could focus on developing products, in India, the tech giant had to couple this development with adding support for all the most popular languages in the country so that the internet could be accessible to all the users in India. This was also highlighted by the search engine giant in its Google for India event held earlier this year.
This has finally culminated in Google announcing on Thursday a variety of features to help deliver a better language experience to millions of Indian users.
A new machine learning model for better understanding of languages
Google announced that they have come up with a new model of machine learning which would help in better understanding of the human language, and this model is called Multilingual Representations for Indian Languages or MuRIL. The model specifically aims to scale across the various Indian languages and it can even provide support for transliterated text. This means that after years of people writing Hindi in Roman script, the model would have support for it.
