aug 20, 1965 - ALPAC Report, a setback for AI research

Description:

The Automatic Language Processing Advisory Committee (ALPAC), chaired by John R. Pierce, publishes a report evaluating the state of machine translation research. The report concludes that machine translation has not met its early promises and recommends redirecting funding away from it. The ALPAC report contributes to the onset of the AI winter, leading to reduced funding and progress in AI research, particularly in natural language processing, through the 1970s and 1980s.
