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.

STATEMENT BY LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION
HON PHILIP J PIERRE
SLP CALLS FOR THE OUTCOME OF UWP INVESTIGATIONS
AT THE SAINT LUCIA LABOUR PARTY’S PRESS CONFERENCE
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 5TH
, 2020
Members of the press, you may recall that in January this year the United Workers Party in a
press release called on me to carry out certain investigations. The United Workers Party is
well aware that I am in no position to investigate issues for which the Prime Minister has
publicly declared in and out of Parliament that he is investigating. I await the outcome of
these investigations. Meanwhile we are requesting that the Prime Minister reveal to the public
the results of the following investigations that he promised the public that the government of
the UWP would conduct.
1. The Hewanorra Airport Scandal where it was revealed that several of his ministers
were involved in interfering with the bidding and selection process by making
hundreds of phone calls between them and the selected contractor
2. The public announcement by a former Cabinet Minister in the UWP government that
he had been offered bribes by a sitting cabinet minister in exchange for his support for
a preferred contractor in the Hewanorra Airport Development Project.
3. The allegation by a former minister Dr Ubaldus Raymond that members of cabinet
were involved in criminal behavior
2. 2 | P a g e
4. The Pajorah letter where a letter in which appears the signature of a sitting member of
his cabinet commits the taxpayers of Saint Lucia to millions of dollars of debt.
5. The accusation that a member of his Cabinet has significant knowledge of a
“kidnapping”.
6. The public obscene outburst and threatening actions of a member of his cabinet at a
restaurant.
7. The revelation by a member of his cabinet in the presence of the Prime Minister that
individuals in high places were involved in murder for hire.
8. The verifiable reasons for the demolition of the two buildings on the St. Jude Hospital
Complex.
9. The role of the Chairman of the National Housing Corporation or his business entities
in the construction work now being undertaken at St. Jude.
10. The allegation of mis-management and improper use of funds by the workers and
their union representative at the National Housing Corporation.
11. The reasons surrounding the resignation, dismissal or absence of Mr Timothy Mangal
as Chairman of the National Housing Corporation.
You will agree that these matters individually and collectively are of grave concern to the
people of Saint Lucia and I will formally write the Prime Minister to inquire on the status of
these investigations and allegations. Let us hope that we do not get the usual response of
promising to investigate and then nothing happens.
But the reality is that we all know that nothing will happen. There may be the talk of an
investigation, but we all know that this talk is absolutely shallow and a sham. That I can
safely say without hesitation because that has been what we’ve been told in the past.
On taking office after the next election one of the first of many issues the Saint Lucia Labour
Party will tackle is enact legislation to stamp out corruption in public office. No longer will
political office be a means to become rich at the expense of our people. Corruption is the
cancer that eats away at our progress as a nation and as a people. When we allow corruption
to flourish it makes us a people all the more poorer. This is my promise and I will get it done.
END.
BREAD * JUSTICE * FREEDOM
