How does Google Translate work?
Google Translate, the goto application or website
interface for anyone who wants a quick translation
on any of the major languages,was conceived in 2
stages.
The first stage introduced us to the Google
Translate with statistical machine translationon
April 28, 2006. It used a 3-way approach for
translating phrases from one language to other.
The source language was first reduced or
converted to English language and then the
corresponding English translation was converted
to the destination language. The linguistic data for
translation was collected by Google from the
United Nations and European Parliament
transcripts.
Though, this version became a point of
widespread ridicule due to its inaccurate and
weird translation as the grammar understanding of
the system was moot at that point. This model
implemented translation in most of the time by
word-basis, phrase-basis and syntax-basis. The
translation became more and more accurate over
the years, with development in algorithms over
the grammar, but the basic 3-way model remained
intact which helped to cover widespread
translations, but resulted in faultier translations
and corpus creation being costly.
This model was adopted till November 15, 2016.
This model was adopted by Google till
November 15, 2016.
On November 15, 2016 Google took a
revolutionary step. It scrapped the previous
„guess‟-algorithm based translation system with
the neural machine translation engine – Google
Neural Machine Translation (GNMT). With the
speedier development in the area of artificial
intelligence, machine learning and deep learning,
Google Translate‟s new model uses the concept of
neural networks and Deep Learning techniques
for the efficient translation, describing it as the
engine which translates, quoting Google, “whole
sentences at a time, rather than just piece by piece.
It uses this broader context to help it figure out the
most relevant translation, which it then rearranges
and adjusts to be more like a human speaking with
proper grammar”. Google Translate first used
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), with the
bidirectional encoder fed in to second RNN called
a decoder, but are now moving subtly towards
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which is
good for long continuous sequences, known to use
attention-based approaches. This model is able to
directly translate from one language to another
without using translations in intermediate
languages.
Google Translate has become one of the most
important technologies being used right now, with
it allowing users to translate via photos and
cameras (via Google Lens), voice translation with
speech recognition on the go, and even
recognizing handwriting, which is indeed a
marvel (though some pathetic handwritings, even

(though some pathetic handwritings, even Google
can‟t detect), in currently 103 languages. So,
basically, hail Google! Arigato. Au revoir!
Some useful applications!

The Cost of FOMO – Fear of missing out
The fear of missing out has become insidious in our
community. Attached to this fear of missing out on
something better is always very mind hindering.
People get these high on life fake personas on
websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram due
to this we often feel low about ourselves as we try to
compare our lives to theirs. I refer to this as "fake"
because people only present the best side of their
lives. No, one is posting about their miseries, and
why would they? Most people don't like seeing
content which is depressive & negative.
So, surely its fake most of the time made up, and it‟s
heavily curated that what we post on social media.
People go through this hassle just for some attention
(likes & comments) in the virtual world.
Nowadays, teens and millennials text while driving,
because they think the significance of a social
connection is more important than their lives (and
others too). They frequently check their Instagram
and Facebook feed even if they are on a date with
somebody because something entertaining just might
be happening - and they don't want to miss out on it.
We are now so connected with one another
through these social networks - that we have
programmed our minds in such a way that we
resist being alone anymore. Some teens believe
they need to be available to their friends every
moment of the day because you don't know when
some might get dumped or into a dispute with
their parents. So, who will be there to comfort
them? They think their peers need instant
gratification and relief. Nobody can wait anymore
- not because they can't; just because they don't
need to. After all, if you could eat ice cream all
day, every day without getting fat or sick, why
wouldn‟t you? That‟s how many of us presently
consuming social media – utilizing it as much as
we can.
Due to such a mentality, we rarely get any chance
to experience the real essence of life.
The Science behind FOMO
FOMO is the anxiety caused by the fear of
missing out on social affairs or a positive
experience. This feeling emanates from social
anxiety and an urge to stay connected to what
others do.
Competitiveness & Social networking is other
factors due to which you feel the fear of missing
out. As you scroll down through your Instagram
or Facebook and witness others achievements,
there are high chances that you end up feeling
sad. In this modern world, a new datum has been
set by us to judge our success based on the likes
and comments we get on our social media profile.
Tips to Get Over FOMO
1. ADMIT THE PROBLEM
Let‟s get real and accept the root of the problem
that is you cannot be everywhere at every time
and wouldn‟t always be enjoying every moment
of your life. And that is OK; you don't have to.
Acknowledging & accepting that you have
anxiety and trying to sort it out is the key to
mindfulness. In this way, you're admitting the
insecurity, and with that realization, you can face
your problem very effectively.
2. TURN OFF YOUR NOTIFICATIONS
For God, sakes turn off the notifications in your
smartphones or switch off your phone. Let's start
a morning without getting our eyes to Instagram.
It will be not practical to get rid of our social
media accounts immediately, but the least we can
do is to limit ourselves from using the way we are
now using it.
3. LEARN TO SAY NO
Even though you might have fear of missing out
at that moment, know that you don't always have
to say yes to everything. We suggest you spend
your time & money very carefully, invest those
resources on things you care and passionate about
not just because of FOMO and you delve into
something about which you feel regret later.
Don't do the things which you think are wasteful
and unproductive.

Cyborgs already exist!
Cyborg is a portmanteau of the words „cyber‟ and
„organism‟, which first appeared in science fiction
novels of the 1960s. The term later became
synonymous with robots in films and television.
Until a few years ago, cyborg was a relatively far-
fetched fancy word, which did not have a real-world
counterpart. However, in recent times, things have
changed. Cyborgs are now real. You might think you
haven‟t seen one, but you have. It‟s you.
How? You are the organism part of the equation.
And the cyber part is your smartphone. It‟s not
breaking the news that our generation spends more
time looking at screens than any other before us. We
have inserted screens everywhere, from billboards to
timepieces. But what makes us cyborgs is that our
phones are now an extension of us and a very
intelligent one at that. How far is the nearest ATM?
Ask your phone. When is the next supermoon? Ask
your phone. What does a portmanteau mean? Ask
your phone.
Our dependence on our phones has hit a point where
we are in a symbiotic relationship with them.
We provide them with electrical power and they
give us data and information. Symbiosis, by
definition, is meant to benefit both of the parties
involved, maintaining the flow of necessities in a
balanced fashion. Our current approach to this
relationship, however, is leaning more towards a
parasitic relationship than a symbiotic one.
Not only are smartphones getting electric juice
with our help, but they are also demanding more
time and energy from our end. Mobile
applications are designed to keep us engaged;
that's how it has been, virtually from the
beginning.
But is artificial blue-light really worth sacrificing
sleep? Is quantified validation, in forms of „likes‟
and „upvotes‟, really worth our time? Should a
mere supplement get more than what it gives us?
Is this the kind of cyborgs we want to be? We
need to decide before it‟s too late before a helpful
companion becomes a venomous parasite.

Digital Transformation
Let‟s start differently. Let‟s first discuss what
digital transformation doesn‟t mean. We initially
break this down to focus on what “digital” actually
means here.
Digital here doesn‟t refer to any of the likes,
retweets, comments on various social media
outlets, any addition of e-commerce stores, or any
creation of websites and all. It doesn‟t even
necessarily mean the use of digital technology.So,
what does digital mean here, in this context?
Digital means the “pace of transformation” that is
happening in today‟s world driven by the fast
implementation of technology.
So, what about the organizations that are not
entirely compatible with new tech? It puts them
under immense pressure, often leading them to
dead ends. And as it usually happens, while some
find a way to be compatible with it, cope with it,
some just don‟t see the signs.
And while the existing organizations find it hard to
cope up with the advancements in technology, the
way in which customers now interact is also
rapidly changing. Now, this is, if not forcing, but
compelling the companies to change their system
of operations, so as to keep up with both the
demands.
Well, what about organizations? What types of
organizations are we talking about here?
We are looking at two types of organizations here:
The organizations that just go digital: All these
organizations are doing currently, is simply
digitizing their services, and calling it a
transformation. This is eventually leading them
into a land of irrelevance.
Digital innovators: They are actually working
hard to achieve comprehensive solutions so as to
cope with this ever-increasing pace of change, as is
the right way.
Now, what exactly does “Digital Transformation”
mean?
All the organizations need, is a strategy, an
organized way to find the answer to this growing
demand. As we know that innovation is the right
tool for this task, the companies must be focused
on providing their teams with suitable resources so
that they can fearlessly brainstorm, innovate. This
is the right leadership that is going to create the
high-performing innovative organizations which
are, by principle, delivered by marketers and
technologists.

Smart India Hackathon
2019
Smart India Hackathon
2019 is a nationwide
initiative to provide
students a platform to
solve some of pressing
problems we face in our
daily lives, and thus
inculcate a culture of
product innovation and
a mindset of problem
solving.
The last edition of the
hackathon saw over 5
million+ students from
various engineering
colleges compete for
the top prize at 35+
locations.
In SIH 2019, the
students would also
have the opportunity to
work on challenges
faced within the private
sector organizations and
create world class
solutions for some of
the top companies in
the world, thus helping
the Private sector hire
the best minds from
across the nation.
The first two editions
SIH2017 and SIH2018
proved to be extremely
successful in promoting
innovation, out-of-the-
box thinking in young
minds, especially
engineering students
from across India.
