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.

September 24, 2003
Mr. Andrew H. Card, Jr.
Chief of Staff to the President
Executive Office of the President
2. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. Card:
I write to express my concern about communications that have recently come to light between high-ranking White House
staff and the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a conservative think-tank, regarding a May 2002 report on global
warming submitted to the United Nations by the State Department. As you know, that report was at odds with Bush
Administration efforts to reject mounting evidence of the serious effects of climate change. A June 3, 2002 email from
Myron Ebell, Director of Global Warming and Environmental Policy at CEI, to Philip Cooney, Chief of Staff for the White
House's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), appears to show efforts by Mr. Cooney to use CEI, an outside group, to
discredit settled and official scientific conclusions regarding climate change.
The U.S. Climate Action Report was issued in May 2002 by the United States pursuant to its obligations under the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992. The Climate Action Report relied to a significant extent on
the National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, which was published in 2000
by the Clinton Administration after a decade of study. Both these reports recognized that increasing concentrations ofA
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were causing the Earth to warm. Both also warned that the warming temperatures
would have dire environmental consequences. These alarming findings provide additional evidence that we rfiust makeL
every effort to reduce our nation's greenhouse gas emissions. Such apursuit, however, is contrary to the Bush
Administration's short-sighted goals of increasing the use and production of traditional fossil fuels without regard to the
long-term effect on the planet. Thus, when asked about the May 2002 Climate Action Report, President Bush dismissed it
as having been "put out by the bureaucracy," while reaffirming his own environmentally hostile approach. (George
Archibald and Carter Dougherty, "Bush Pans Kyoto as Japan OKs Pact; EPA Diverges From President's Views,"
Washington Times, June 5,2002.)
The June 3, 2002 CEI-CEQ email, which was produced as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request by Attorneys
General from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine, was apparently written in response to a telephone call to Mr. Ebel]
of CEI from Mr. Cooney of CEQ requesting "help" in dealing with the political fallout from the Climate Action Report. Inthe
email, Mr. Ebell indicates his understanding of Mr. Cooney's request -- that CEl is being asked "to clean up the mess" -
and expresses some doubt as to "whether we have the resources to clean up this one." No other email exchanges
between these parties have been released.
However, on August 6, 2003, CEI filed a lawsuit against the Administration to invalidate the National Assessment of the
Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change -- published in 2000 by the Clinton Administration after a
decade of study -- which formed the basis for many of the conclusions in the Climate Action Report. The suit is apparently
an attempt to have the National Assessment (and therefore the Climate Action Report) withdrawn.
The J'gine 3, MN0 email suggests that CEQ may have worked with CEI in forming a strategy to "clean up the mess" left by
the Climate Action Report. This lawsuit may have been seen by the Administration as the best means to that end. I hope
that the lawsuit, in which the Administration is in a position to defend these official U.S. conclusions on climate change, is
not the result of a collusive plan conceived by CEI in concert with the Administration itself. It would be wrong in any
circumstance to reject the well-founded findings of the National Assessment, but for the Administration to use an outside
group to pursue such an ill-conceived goal would be doubly wrong, and could also be abuse of the courts at the expense
of the taxpayers.
I call upon the Administration to clear this matter up by explaining what help, exactly, Mr. Cooney was seeking, prompting
Mr. Ebell to send the June 3,2002 email. I also call upon the White House to clear the record once and for all by publicly
disclosing all White House contacts with CEI regarding the issue of global warming from May 1, 2002, to the present.
"Contacts" include all communications, including meetings, conversations, telephone calls, emails, letters, or facsimiles.
Please provide the names of all people who participated in each contact between CEI and White House staff in which
global warming was addressed. This includes providing the names of all people present at relevant meetings or
conversations, all those who authored or received relevant documents (such as emails or letters), and all those who made
or received relevant telephone calls. Please provide me copies of all documents evidencing or regarding communications
with CEI addressing global warming from May 1,2002 to the present.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. I look forward to your timely response, but please provide the information
requested no later than October 10, 2003. Feel free to call me with any questions, or have your staff call Cynthia Lesser of
my staff at 202-224-2627.
Sincerely,
