GTCOM Kunming made an appearance in the digital cultural industry exhibition area to showcase the application of its machine translation technology.
Machine translation has become the most important infrastructure for cross-language communication, cultural integration and information dissemination in the human world. At the event, GTCOM Kunming gave a multi-faceted presentation of LanguageBox, the company’s hardware product developed based on cutting-edge technologies such as neural network machine translation and speech recognition for enterprise-level intelligent conferencing. Visitors experienced the device on site. With multiple functions such as speech mode, multilingual mode, intelligent shorthand, and meeting minute transcription, the product showcases the charm of language technology products in an immersive manner.
GTCOM haslongbeen engaged in language technology research and development, using cutting-edge information technology to support for inheritance and social application of ethnic languages and cultures. In 2021, the company made use of its advantages in machine translation and big data capabilities to build an international intelligent service system for Kunming Station on the China-Laos Railway. At the same time, to serve China’s opening-up strategy, the company actively participated in building a nationallanguage service resource library to help with the digital transformation of language and culture. In August 2022, "Research and Industrial Application of Ultra-large-scale Neural Machine Translation Model with Chinese as the Core", an industrial high-tech project included in Yunnan Provincial Key R&D Plan, was launched with GTCOM as the lead. It aims to build resource library of less spoken languages to enhance digital language services and cross-language translation capabilities serving China and South Asian and Southeast Asian countries, and provide strong support for national cultural big data. In November of the same year, GTCOM joined a team of 10 institutions led by Tibet University and secured support for "Research and Development and Application of Automatic Recognition Technology for Tibetan Language and Characters", a major project under the Science and Technology Innovation 2030 New Generation Artificial Intelligence program. The company assumed the two important responsibilities of core technology research and the commercialization of the technological achievements. With this it expects to empower the cultural industry with speech and text recognition, machine translation and other technologies, and support Xizang’s efforts to boost development with science and technology.
In the future, GTCOM will continue to increase investment toaccelerate technological upgrading in the field of language intelligence, supporting Yunnan Provinceinits digital cultural industry system development, participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, and the construction of digital cultural center, digital trade center, and technological innovation center.
