Decentralisation in Ukraine_for Despro_english_29.03.2013Vira Nanivska
The new project “Mapping decentralization reforms in Ukraine”, initiated by DESPRO with the financial support from the Swiss agency for development and cooperation (SDC), differs essentially from all the earlier projects. It envisages the analysis of reforms aimed at decentralization in Ukraine and finding out why, despite huge effort and resources invested into decentralization over the recent 20 years, Ukraine ended up in situation, which is characterized by strengthened centralization, while the very notion of decentralization has acquired most negative connotation due to the failure of the respective reforms.

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.
