Absolutely, johnsmith. I recently read that a large tech company achieved a 10x increase in efficiency for their machine translation system using neural networks. Truly impressive.

You're right, the potential benefits of neural network-enhanced machine translation extend far beyond just better translations. This has the potential to bring people closer together and foster greater cross-cultural understanding.

It's also worth noting that with better translation algorithms, we might witness a resurgence in small and low-resource languages, ensuring their preservation for future generations.

This is definitely a field to watch. I'm curious about the model size and inference speed. Has there been any effort made towards optimization yet?

In terms of optimization, I came across a fascinating article about pruning neural networks to reduce the number of parameters without affecting performance. Perhaps that's worth investigating

Quantumleap, pruning has been used for model optimization. I believe it's worth looking into, as you mentioned. It could help strike a balance between model performance and size without sacrificing translation quality.

Quantumleap, I think what you're referring to is called 'model pruning.' It's an exciting approach, but it's essential to strike a balance between performance and model size. I wonder if any work on this front has been done yet in this specific area of translation neural networks.
