![]() MT models usually train on large amounts of parallel (translated) text, but without such data, models must learn to translate from limited amounts of monolingual text, which is a novel area of research. The second challenge arises from modeling limitations. The first arises from data scarcity digitized data for many languages is limited and can be difficult to find on the web due to quality issues with Language Identification (LangID) models. There are two key bottlenecks towards building functioning translation models for the long tail of languages. Moreover, the languages that are currently represented are overwhelmingly European, largely overlooking regions of high linguistic diversity, like Africa and the Americas. Nevertheless, while existing translation services cover languages spoken by the majority of people world wide, they only include around 100 languages in total, just over 1% of those actively spoken globally. Performance on research benchmarks like WMT have soared, and translation services have improved in quality and expanded to include new languages. Machine translation (MT) technology has made significant advances in recent years, as deep learning has been integrated with natural language processing (NLP). But despite the inconvenience, travelers said a visit to the beach to see the unique keyhole rock was worth the hassle.Posted by Isaac Caswell and Ankur Bapna, Research Scientists, Google Translate But the best time to see the rock is at sunset when the sun shines brightly through the keyhole, creating a spectacular photo op.Īlthough it's secluded, Pfeiffer Beach can get crowded some recent visitors reported having to wait in line just to secure a parking spot. At low tide, visitors are able to wade through the water and take a Pfeiffer Keyhole Rock look at the surrounding tide pools. ![]() ![]() It's also considered the most-photographed attraction in Big Sur after Bixby Bridge. ![]() The Pfeiffer Keyhole Rock is hard to miss thanks to its distinguishable arch. The beach's most famous rock formation, however, is located a few feet out into the ocean. Located about 7 miles south of Andrew Molera State Park next to Los Padres National Forest, Pfeiffer Beach is secluded in feel, offering expansive shorelines covered by towering, vegetation-heavy bluffs and striking rock formations. If you're on a tight itinerary and don't have time to traverse any state park trails, head to Pfeiffer Beach. There are also various pathways on the Bluffs Trail that go directly down to the shore. The Loop takes travelers along the coast via the Bluffs Trail then around into an equally beautiful wooded area via the Panorama Trail and Ridge Trail. The Bluffs Trail, Panorama Trail and Ridge Trail are all main trails that connect to make the Andrew Molera Loop. There are nine trails that comprise Andrew Molera State Park, five of which are main trails and three that are considered alternative trails. The beach is also safe to surf, and is considered to be one of the best surfing spots in Big Sur. Because of the park's flatter geography, visitors are allowed to bike and can take horseback rides throughout the park. Named after the man who brought the artichoke to California, Andrew Molera Park's natural wonders include secluded beaches, redwood groves, meadows and the Big Sur River along its 20 miles of hiking trails. This 4,800-acre park is the largest state park on the Big Sur coast and offers multiple activities and attractions, not to mention several hiking trails. In the past, some have even come into the mouth of the cove. ![]() The cove is also a prime place to spot migrating gray whales that pass through Big Sur from December to February, as well as March to May. The falls, flowing from atop one of the cove's granite cliffs, tumble 80 feet down into the cove and get swept up by the ocean. The site is lauded for its beauty, and is a culmination of all geological features typical to Big Sur: The secluded beach is flanked by jagged bluffs covered in shrubs, wildflowers and cypress trees. Less than a mile long, the trail takes visitors to one of the most popular attractions in Big Sur: McWay Falls. The shortest and most traveled path is Waterfall Overlook Trail. Not to mention, it is one of the few areas in Big Sur where scuba diving is allowed. A feast for the eyes, the park features seven marked trails that take travelers to tucked away coves, up to waterfalls, along miles-long creeks, through redwood-clad forests and more. Named after one of Big Sur's most beloved pioneers, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park is a favorite among both locals and tourists. ![]()
