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.

A matching Rotary grant to train 10 rural schools on how to farm in
Limpopo. The training will entail the maintenance of high quality gardens. We will be
starting a pilot program at a farm school near the NGO, Blessman International area in
the next three months at the Sterkrivier School.
Other Rotary clubs involved are Pietersburg 100 as the "host club", Polokwane and
Mokopane. Together these clubs are pledging a total of R150 000. Blessman
International will match the R 150 000 which will result in a total of R 300 000.
Jim Blessing is hoping to present this same opportunity to the Rotary Clubs of Bela Bela,
Haenertsburg and Louis Trichardt.
Using the R 300 000, the fund-raising efforts will be taken to America. It is hoped that
8 or 10 clubs will be found and hopefully one corporate donor will match the rest of the
funds to give Blessman International a total of R 2m.
They will be offering three-day training sessions on their campus and then do follow up
training and motivation sessions at all of the schools.
The grant will fund basic material needs like seedlings, hand tools, and irrigation
drip lines.

renew their invitation to you and the members of your prestigious and respectful club to learn more
about and share our Rotary organized initiative, "Cross Egypt Challenge" that aims to promote
tourism to Egypt and prove that Egypt is still safe for tourism.
Cross Egypt Challenge is an international cross-country motorcycle and scooter adventure tour
conducted throughout the majestic and fascinating Egypt. Participation is not only open to Rotarians
or professional riders, but also open to average riders and their accompanying spouses or friends
from around the globe.
This amazing Rotary project started in 2011 and for the past 6 years, Rotarians and riders from over
40 countries took part in the adventurous challenge. This year the challenge will start on
October 12 and will last for 10 days and will pass
by Egypt's top attractions and off the beaten track
destinations.
A normal practice we are used to conduct during
Cross Egypt Challenge is an annual "Sahara Rotary
Meetings" where riding Rotarians along with
Rotaracts from our organizing team conduct an
official Rotary meeting in the Egyptian Desert.
I invite you, your club and the members of your club to support our initiative by:
Register for the rally, and ride or join one of your fellow riders in our chase vans this October in
Egypt, and enjoy a once in a life-time experience (a motorcycle and scooter rental option is
available for international participants). Direct link to the registration application which can be

Community Services Committee met at the Lotter Family’s home for the strategic
planning meeting for the next 18 months and beyond! Thanks to the Lotter family
for hosting a very successful meeting—so much planned for the club’s future.
Excellent fellowship to celebrate three important dates! The club was chartered on
5 March 2014 so we celebrated our three years’ anniversary. We toasted Rotary International’s
112th anniversary and also celebrated The Rotary Foundation’s 100th anniversary.
The lunch organised at Pachas in Pretoria (by PP Liana van der Walt) was excellent. This was a
super fellowship event and we also inducted Prof Gawie Lotter as our newest member.
We are now 63 strong.
