  • Comment: press releases and other poor-quality sourcing such as listicles on unreliable sites should not be used. She was afairy 06:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Technology and language sections are unsourced. Greenman (talk) 09:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: This article needs better sourcing. In particular, the need is to show "notability" in Wikipedia's specific sense of the word (see Wikipedia:Notability), which in the case of a company would require that this company has been in the public eye. The mention of the product winning an award helps, but is not enough. I would like to see three articles in national newspapers which mention this product/company. Cite those and I would accept the article on a future review. Doric Loon (talk) 20:29, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Technology edit

For the translator, a sequence-to-sequence model is used, consisting of several layers, each of which includes an encoder and a decoder. Previous versions of Lingvanex used LSTM or GRU (simple recurrent network), attention layers, etc. The current version uses the so-called transformer architecture, when additional self-attention layers are inserted to connect recurrent and convolution networks.

Lingvanex used United Nations and European Parliament documents and transcripts to gather linguistic data and proprietory tool Data Studio to train language models. Most of the translations between language pairs are made via conversion to English as mediary first and then pivot to target language.
