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.

Mizzima Media Group is pleased to announce the relaunch of Mizzima Weekly. Mizzima is dedicated to helping our readers and viewers keep up to date on the latest developments in Myanmar and related to Myanmar by offering analysis and insight into the subjects that matter. Our websites and our social media channels provide readers and viewers with up-to-the-minute and up-to-date news, which we don’t necessarily need to replicate in our Mizzima Weekly magazine. But where we see a gap is in providing more analysis, insight and in-depth coverage of Myanmar, that is of particular interest to a range of readers.
1. Town of Stony Plain
Community Sustainability Plan
2007
…creating a home for generations

2. Introduction
What is a community? To the Town of Stony Plain, a community is a home for all
generations. It is a sense of place that provides for social equity, economic viability,
cultural vitality, and environmental stewardship. In this regard, Stony Plain endeavors to
be a strong and vibrant community, where we respect our heritage, embrace the present,
and are excited about the future.
In the past few years the Town has begun to ask itself: What sort of community will
Stony Plain be in the future? We only need to think back 20 years to see where we have
come, and how the decisions that were made in the past, have contributed to the Town
today.
Many of the developments, programs, and services that continue today, do so because of
the foresight and proper planning that addressed future needs of the community. Hence,
in many ways, since incorporation in 1908, the Town has focused on sustainable
community development by meeting the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs. 1
Nevertheless, it is important to be mindful that sustainable planning does not naturally
evolve within a community. In order to succeed, long term municipal planning must
maintain a high level of commitment among the entire organization.
Therefore, in an effort to be proactive in the realm of sustainability, the Town has created
this Community Sustainability Plan. Municipal sustainability planning is an opportunity
for municipalities to proactively address challenges and move towards a sustainable
future, one where a strong economy and participative governance model protects
ecological integrity, contributes to a vibrant cultural scene, and preserves strong social
cohesion. 2
