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.

To tell you a little about myself, I just finished my sixth year teaching fifth grade in a title 1 school in South Harlem. I use iPads one to one with my students and I blog about my experiences, lesson ideas, favorite free apps at classtechtips.com . If you are not on twitter I highly recommend it - it's a fantastic way to connect with educators across the world, read about what they are doing in their classroom and share some of your favorite things. If you have any questions after today please feel free to email me I'm very accessible and you're more than welcome to reach out.
