TRANSLATED-S.R.L.
For the first time in history, Translated, the leading global language services provider and pioneer of AI-powered localization services, quantified the speed at which we are approaching the singularity in artificial intelligence (AI). The discovery was made possible by analyzing data from 2 billion post-edits collected from several years of client translations. CEO Marco Trombetti previewed the research during the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas 2022 conference, where he was invited to present the opening keynote speech.

Many AI researchers believe that solving the language translation challenge is equivalent to producing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The evidence Translated has provided about reducing the gap between what expert human translators and an optimized machine translation system can produce is quite possibly the most compelling evidence of success at scale seen in both the MT and AI community.
If the progress in machine translation (MT) quality continues at its current rate, in about six years the highest-performing professional translators will spend the same amount of time correcting a translation produced by MT as they will correcting one completed by their peers. That is what we consider the singularity in translation. The exact date when that will happen could vary somewhat, but the trend is evident.
Translated’s finding relies on data representing a concrete sample of the translation production demand. It consists of records of the time taken to edit over 2 billion MT suggestions by tens of thousands of professional translators worldwide working across multiple subject domains, ranging from literature to technical translation. It also includes fields in which MT is still struggling, such as speech transcription.
Over the years, Translated has continually worked to evaluate and monitor machine translation quality. In 2011, the company standardized its methodology and settled on a metric we call “Time to Edit,” the time required by the world’s highest-performing professional translators to check and correct MT-suggested translations. Time to edit is considered the best measure of translation quality because there is no concrete way to define this metric other than measuring the average time required to check and correct a translation in a real working scenario. By switching from automated estimates to measurements of human cognitive effort, Time to Edit reassigns the quality evaluation to those traditionally in charge of the task: professional translators.

Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (Biocytogen, HKEX: 02315), announced that its partner IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDYA), a precision oncology company, has received the clearance of an investigational new drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial of IDE034, a potential first-in-class B7H3/PTK7 bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). IDEAYA expects to begin patient enrollment in Q1 2026, initially evaluating patients with solid tumors known to express B7H3 and PTK7, including lung, colorectal, head and neck, and ovarian/gynecological cancers. IDE034 is a bispecific B7H3/PTK7 TOP1 ADC, independently developed by Biocytogen and licensed to IDEAYA in July 2024. The IND clearance marks an important milestone for this licensed program, supporting subsequent clinical development of IDE034, while highlighting Biocytogen’s technical capabilities in bispecific ADC discovery and development.
