In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.

2. Automated Election System
A system using appropriate technology which
has been demonstrated in the voting, counting,
consolidating, canvassing, and transmission of
election results, and other electoral processes
Its purpose is to ensure the secrecy and
sanctity of the ballot and all election,
consolidation and transmission documents in
order that the process shall be transparent and
credible and that the results shall be fast,
accurate and reflective of the genuine will of
the people
- RA No. 9369 -
3. Relevant Laws
Rep. Act No. 8436 approved December 22, 1997
RA 8436 was considered a “purchase order” law – provides for 23
specifications that appear to be tailored-fit to a particular bidder
Rep. Act No. 9369 approved January 23, 2007
RA 9369 amended RA 8436 by providing for systems requirements that
are neutral – paper based or non paper-based technology - appropriate and
practical for the process of voting, counting of votes and canvassing/
consolidation and transmittal of results of electoral exercises.
Rep. Act No. 9525 approved on March 23, 2009
An Act appropriating the sum of P11,301,790,000.00 as supplemental
appropriations for an Automated Election System and Other Purposes
4. Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) System
Similar to the OMR technology used
in the five provinces of the ARMM
during the August 2008 ARMM
elections.
A paper- based technology. It uses a
paper ballot where the names of the
candidates to be voted are pre- printed
in the ballot.
After voting, ballots will be fed in an
automated counting machine (ACM).
It has a 99.99999% accuracy rate.
5. PCOS or AUTOMATED COUNTING MACHINE (ACM)
Counting of votes will be done in the
precinct, one PCOS or Automated
Counting Machine (ACM) for every
clustered precinct
Scans ballot, both sides of the paper
ballot can be read in a single pass
Takes and stores a digital image of
every ballot cast
Automatically rejects fake,
photocopied, invalid and previously
scanned ballots
Runs on a main power source of 220V
AC, has a back-up battery that will allow
machine to run for 12 hours
