4 Why is it you are interested in machine translation?

As a student of Computer Science, I'm personally very interested in fields of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition. I think machine translation is one of the most exiting applications in this field. The most interesting thing about Machine Translation is how fundamentally different the various MT techniques are. Whereas rule bases machine translation relies upon extensively on automata theory and pattern matching, Statistical machine translation approach harnesses the essence of statistics and information theory. There have been extensive work in this field in the recent decade and there is much to be done.

Working on machine translation also involves the unique bonus of getting to know a lot of different languages and cultures, which is its own reward.
