Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English.

The researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. The experts said that the system's translations were as good as the human translations.

Experts used several methods to improve the system's translation abilities. “Much of our research is really learned from how we humans do things，” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.

One method is called dual learning(對偶學(xué)習(xí)). In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are exact.

Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲網(wǎng)絡(luò))．The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually，the system can improve the quality(質(zhì)量) of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going through it again and again.
