Google has huge volumes of data, which can be very conveniently
used with statistical methods. (02)
But there are some cases where the frequency-based statistics
will give popular companies some "free advertising". Their
algorithms occasionally drag in some proper names that have
a high statistical association with the phrases that are
being translated. (03)
That is an example where multiple algorithms, some statistical
and some semantic, can complement and check one another. (04)
