<![CDATA[The increasing need for cross-lingual communication in a globalized world has driven innovations in machine translation, with the aim of breaking down language barriers. Traditional machine translation models rely on large parallel corpora for training, but zero-shot machine translation (MT) offers a promising alternative by enabling translation between language pairs without requiring direct training data. This study explores the potential of generative AI in zero-shot MT, focusing on its ability to bridge languages with minimal linguistic resources. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of zero-shot MT using generative AI models in translating between languages that lack extensive parallel corpora. The study uses a comparative approach, assessing the performance of generative AI models against traditional MT systems on several language pairs, particularly focusing on low-resource languages. The results show that generative AI-based zero-shot models can produce high-quality translations across multiple languages, even those with limited or no parallel data. The findings suggest that zero-shot MT has the potential to revolutionize global communication by offering a scalable, efficient solution for languages with insufficient resources. This research concludes that generative AI's ability to perform zero-shot machine translation has significant implications for improving cross-cultural communication and expanding access to information, with important applications in education, business, and diplomacy.]]>

<![CDATA[Understanding how the human brain processes language has been a long-standing challenge in neuroscience and cognitive science. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in neural networks, have opened new avenues for investigating the representation of language in the brain. This study explores the relationship between semantic and syntactic representations in neural models and human brain activity. By comparing how deep learning models and the human brain process linguistic structures, this research seeks to bridge the gap between computational models and biological systems. The research aims to analyze the similarities and differences in how neural models and the human brain represent syntactic and semantic information. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from brain activity during language processing tasks, and applying AI models trained on large language datasets, this study investigates the neural correlates of syntax and semantics. The results show that certain regions of the brain correspond to the syntactic structures processed by AI models, while others align more closely with semantic representations. The neural network models exhibited high correspondence with brain activity patterns, particularly in tasks involving sentence structure and meaning comprehension. This study concludes that AI models can be used to enhance our understanding of how language is represented in the brain, offering valuable insights into both neuroscience and artificial intelligence.]]>
