First of all we have to know that Machine Learning is part of Artificial Intelligence; as Tom Mitchel defined in his “Machine Learning” book “Machine Learning is the study of algorithms that allow computer programs to automatically improve through experience“. Machine Learning focuses most of the times on the study of Computational Complexity of the [...]

Posted in HLT, Littera on 23 May 2009 | Leave a Comment »
On the third questionnaire, one of the subjects we have seen is machine translation.
