Pub date: 2020-05-18

Notes from The Machinist :

Would we be making more progress, on more solid foundations, if more linguists were involved in Natural language processing (NLP) research, or is the progress we're making just fine?

Today we’re joined by Emily M. Bender, Professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington.

Our discussion covers a lot of ground, but centers on the question, "Is Linguistics Missing from NLP Research?" We explore if we would be making more progress, on more solid foundations, if more linguists were involved in NLP research, or is the progress we're making (e.g. with deep learning models like Transformers) just fine?
