Google conference at home university

In MTGU them. Bauman recently hosted a Google conference.
Well, I learned a lot. But most of all I remember 3 facts.
The first. The word google itself turns out to be quite meaningful. This is one with one hundred zeros. It symbolizes the main goal of the company: to accumulate a lot of information to make life more convenient for people.
The second. The google employees are so accustomed to their enormous possibilities that it is even fun to listen. =) Approximately 20% of the time, employees can do their own projects, using the full power of the company. One of the company's mottos says: "Why should a person do what a computer can do for him." Programmers from google even approached the question of translating text from one language to another precisely from this position. When translating, they use a probabilistic-statistical method of choosing words for translation. Those. A multitude of Google machines analyzes the texts of their translations, and creates a large base of probability for a word to appear. Already on the basis of the base translation. In words it sounds very difficult, but as a company representative said: “If I want, in the evening I will have a dictionary for translation, say from Chinese into Russian.”
Third. This is the answer to the logical question why Google is so diligently engaged in the topic of translation. Everything is very simple. Google wants to find information in other languages ​​when searching for information in order to expand its search capabilities. And so that the found pages can be read in their own language.
