Gicon Studio was introduced on KBS WORLD RADIO.
I will talk about the background of the birth of specialized natural language processing technology, artificial intelligence neural network machine translation technology, and the philosophy of Twigfarm Co., Ltd.
Twig Farm, a farm that creates ideas
“Twig Farm”, established in 2016 (as a corporation), has a corporate philosophy of “let's realize the ideas people need based on IT.” This philosophy is being realized with translation solutions specialized in artificial intelligence. “Twigfarm” provides accurate language services through collaboration between neural network machine translation and professional translators. This company, which surpasses language barriers through the combination of humans and machines, started from the experience of CEO Baek Seon-ho, who worked in Israel, the cradle of startups.
“TWIG (branch, order) + FARM (farm)”
Twig Farm is a farm that nurtures ideas.
There was a part where the founders felt uncomfortable, and among them, common uncomfortable content
“Gicon Studio” is a service launched by reviewing our own technology and business to solve this problem.
More accurately, I started with an item called Reims Market, a platform that connects clients and professional translators,
I came to Gicon Studio based on user feedback:)
Do you have an idea based on artificial intelligence deep learning? I recommend growing it at Twig Farm.
From the Israel Telecommunications Research Institute, the cradle of startups
With a population of 8.6 million, Israel has the highest number of startups and engineers per percentage of the population. Israel, which invests 85% of the country's business capital if it only has a good idea, creates 500 new startups every year, and every year creates Unicorn (Unicorn) companies, which are privately held startups with a corporate value of 1 billion dollars or more.
CEO Baek Seon-ho, who witnessed numerous successes while working in a startup paradise, won the game with neural network machine translation.
CEO Baek Seon-ho of Twigfarm has experience working at S Electronics Research Institute in Israel. I gained experience as a software engineer at a local company,
After this experience, I was able to see how company colleagues, friends, and seniors and juniors started a business, grew up a company, and grew up into a unicorn company, which was an important experience for starting Twig Farm.
Excellent expressiveness and accuracy with specialized neural network machine translation
The competitive advantage of “Twig Farm” is that it is customized for users. It is not a translation that can be used by everyone, but an accurate translation service tailored to a specific field. To this end, “Twigfarm” performs primary machine translation based on neural networks. In the past, machine translation was only about interpreting the etymology dictionary after dividing a word or phrase, but the game changed after “Google (Google)” applied artificial neural network translation in 2016.
(short note)
However, it is still not as complete as a translation done by a person. In order to overcome these shortcomings, 'Twigfarm' professional translators perform a second translation and store it as data. “Twigfarm”, which provides fast and accurate translation by combining machines and humans, signed a contract with the world's leading patent translation company last year (2019).
Twig Farm's competitive advantage is customization.
In an article introducing Gicon Studio, I'll introduce “Personalized Translation Platform” as a user-customized translation platform.
This is because they want to provide better translation solutions based on user data.
The principle is that translation data for each field is collected and processed into a state where it can be learned, and a machine translator learned based on this data brings higher quality translation results than a typical machine translator.
- Quality improvement of initial translation (based on machine translation)
- Check for typos
- Automate duplicate/repetitive tasks
- Reduced translation costs
