Importance of data for machine learning algorithms can’t be stressed enough. I remember talking to a friend in Google Translate team. they had a good also but they were struggling to get quality translation data to train their service. the problem was more severe when it came to language which was not very popular. translation set was next to nothing for Say something like Turkish, Hindi, Latvian etc.
They finally solved this by using meeting notes from UN Assembly. Which were transcribed by best of the translators? that access to meeting transcription was (unfair ??) advantage Google had over other tools. Was it wrong ? I don’t think so. Should have been those meeting notes be public: Yes
