Artificial Intelligence Translates Thoughts Into Text Using Brain Implant

Researchers at the leading university had developed the AI to decipher up to 250 words in real-time from a set of between 30 and 50 sentences.

Mind-reading AI can turn the neural activity into sentences with a 97 percent accuracy rate. Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that can translate a person’s thoughts into text by analyzing their brain activity. The algorithm was trained using the neural signals of four women with electrodes implanted in their brains, which were already in place to monitor epileptic seizures.

The volunteers repeatedly read sentences aloud while the researchers fed the brain data to the AI to unpick patterns that could be associated with individual words. The average word error rate across a repeated set was as low as 3 percent.

“A decade after the speech was first decoded from human brain signals, accuracy and speed remain far below that of natural speech,” states a paper detailing the research, published this week in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

“Taking a cue from recent advances in machine translation, we trained a recurrent neural network to encode each sentence-length sequence of neural activity into an abstract representation, and then to decode this representation, word by word, into an English sentence.”

The average active vocabulary of an English speaker is estimated to be around 20,000 words, meaning the system is a long way off being able to understand regular speech. Researchers are unsure about how well it will scale up, as the decoder relies on learning the structure of a sentence and using it to improve its predictions. This means that each new word increases the number of possible sentences, therefore reducing the overall accuracy.

“Although we should like the decoder to learn and to exploit the regularities of the language, it remains to show how much data would be required to expand from our tiny languages to a more general form of English,” the paper states. One possibility could be to combine it with other brain-computer interface technologies that use different types of implants and algorithms.

Last year, a report by the Royal Society claimed that neural interfaces linking human brains to computers will enable mind reading between people. The report cited technologies currently being developed by Elon Musk’s Neuralink startup and Facebook, who describe cyborg telepathy as “the next great wave in human-oriented computing”.

The Royal Society estimated that such interfaces will be an “established option” for treating diseases like Alzheimer’s within two decades.

“People could become telepathic to some degree, able to converse not only without speaking but without words,” the report stated while expanding on more futuristic applications like being able to virtually taste and smell without physically experiencing the sensation.

I'm very surprised with modern technology and, likely, many of these things will soon be prevalent. Machine intelligence can be found more and more often, and it replaces human labor in many ways. But there are things in which the human intellect will always excel. For example, recently I tried to translate using the app and there were many mistakes. So I turned to a human translation service for help and got accurate english to turkish translation. This is what human labor and intelligence should be valued for. And machines can never supplant it.

It's even cooler when you don't need to seek help from translators because you know languages and can translate any text.

That is why I believe that learning languages are something that should be given special attention because it provides a huge number of benefits. I prefer to learn languages with the help of apps and many interesting and useful language learning apps can be found here. Now I am learning French and I hope to be able to apply it soon.

Well, that sounds too unrealistic. I don't think it will ever really work well.

You know, I was thinking the same thing about face recognition technology, but now there are companies like Kvalifika that provide services Kvalifika.com. It's amazing, but technology is developing very quickly, so anything is possible. Maybe we will see something new soon.

Tech development is impressive indeed, and I'm pretty sure that it won't take long for people to figure out the way to learn different languages in just seconds. Well, it won't be in the nearest future for sure, so I'm pretty sure services like Polish Tutors & Teachers Online | LiveXP will be in demand for a long time, but who knows what's going to be in a few centuries.

I'm devoting a lot of time to learning Spanish right now because I have a long business trip to Barcelona coming up soon and I'd like to be confident in my knowledge and understand what people around me are saying. I started by googling how to learn spanish. In fact, there are really many ways. I hired a tutor, but I also found the lingopie platform to watch movies and series in Spanish.
