#First_India_NewsPaper
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.
2. 2011: Where We Were
• Unsustainable cost structure.
• Too many journalists focused on production, not the creation
of compelling local content – our only competitive advantage.
• Different print designs, web designs and content management
systems from property to property.
• No common ad map on print and digital products.
• No ability to take advantage of scale.
• Not enough digital focus.
• Shortage of key digital skillsets.
• In short … too much inefficiency.
3. Problems to Solve
• How do reduce production needs and yet get more unique content to
differentiate our digital products?
• How do we respond quickly to national audience and revenue
opportunities without upsetting the tenuous nature of our newsrooms
and sales forces?
• How do add we create uniqueness outside of local to help improve SEO
and create audience growth opportunities?
• How do we grow digital know-how in our newsrooms in a cost-effective
fashion?
• How do newsrooms gain digital expertise in a world where changes
come by the day, not the year?
• How do newsrooms improve their cost structure and get new products
with a digital-first focus?
