• B. Machine translation
• C. Phoneme recognition
• D. Music theory

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Machine translation

"Machine translation" in semantics refers to the field of artificial intelligence where computer systems attempt to translate text from one language to another while actively considering the meaning and context of words, phrases, and sentences, going beyond just literal word-for-word translation to produce a more accurate and natural-sounding translation in the target language; essentially, it focuses on preserving the semantic meaning of the source text during the translation process.
