Resum

Si la traducció automàtica estadística (TAE) va ser una tecnologia disruptiva, la traducció automàtica neuronal (TAN) probablement és una innovació incremental, que continua una trajectòria establerta per la TAE i que inicialment s'ha avaluat en gran part igual que la seva predecessora. Mirar la TAN des d'aquest punt de vista pot ser útil per matisar el bombo que envolta el seu sorgiment.

Paraules clau

Innovació disruptiva, traducció automàtica, TA estadística, TA neuronal, mètriques per a la qualitat, mobilitat.
