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.

‘वोटर्स विल मस्ट प्रीवेल’ (मतदाताओं को जीतना होगा) अभियान द्वारा जारी हेल्पलाइन नंबर, 4 जून को सुबह 7 बजे से दोपहर 12 बजे तक मतगणना प्रक्रिया में कहीं भी किसी भी तरह के उल्लंघन की रिपोर्ट करने के लिए खुला रहेगा।
हम आग्रह करते हैं कि जो भी सत्ता में आए, वह संविधान का पालन करे, उसकी रक्षा करे और उसे बनाए रखे।" प्रस्ताव में कुल तीन प्रमुख हस्तक्षेप और उनके तंत्र भी प्रस्तुत किए गए। पहला हस्तक्षेप स्वतंत्र मीडिया को प्रोत्साहित करके, वास्तविकता पर आधारित काउंटर नैरेटिव का निर्माण करके और सत्तारूढ़ सरकार द्वारा नियोजित मनोवैज्ञानिक हेरफेर की रणनीति का मुकाबला करके लोगों द्वारा निर्धारित कथा को बनाए रखना और उस पर कार्यकरना था।
2. • The word “X" has been translated as "island
of many hills" from the Lenape language. The
Lenape Indians themselves gave a slightly
different account of the name to Moravian
missionary John Heckewelder: They called it
Y, which in the Delaware language, means
"the island where we all became
intoxicated."
4. • It was discovered by a peasant named Yorgos
Kentrotas in 1820, inside a buried niche within
the ancient city ruins in an Aegean island. The
statue was found in two main pieces (the
upper torso and the lower draped legs) along
with several herms (pillars topped with
heads), fragments of the upper left arm, and
an inscribed plinth.
6. • In Hindu Mythology, the X is considered to be
the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi (Goddess of
Wealth) and thus it is considered lucky if an X
resides near a house. The Greek goddess
Athena was commonly depicted
accompanied by an X, and it has remained a
common Western symbol of wisdom.
8. • X was another name for Ramesses the Great,
Pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty of ancient
Egypt. Percy Shelley wrote a poem with the
same title X, said to have been inspired by
the arrival in London of a colossal statue of
Ramesses II, acquired for the British Museum
by the Italian adventurer Giovanni Belzoni in
1816.
13. • In their 2006 survey, the British automobile
magazine and TV/radio show Top Gear placed
the first-generation X into 3rd place, and
described it as a "masterpiece of
dependability". X got its name from a previous
car manufactured by the same company –
which was named just on the basis of a
number. The newer version of X has the same
name in most countries, but not in India. How
is it known in India?
15. • In accordance with the customs of Stratemeyer Syndicate
series production, they signed contracts that have
sometimes been interpreted as requiring them to sign away
all rights to authorship or future royalties. In the early days
of the Syndicate, they were paid a fee of $125, "roughly
equivalent to two month's wages for a typical newspaper
reporter.“ During the Great Depression this fee was lowered
to $100. All royalties went to the Syndicate, and all
correspondence with the publisher was handled through a
Syndicate office. When Walter Karig tried to claim rights
with the Library of Congress in 1933, the Syndicate
instructed the Library of Congress not to reveal the names of
any of them, a move with which the Library of Congress
complied.
19. • Jeffrey Archer wrote that if George’s name
was added to the history books, then one
name would have to be removed. As to
whether George deserves to be up there in
history has been something which has been
debated for long.
• Whose name would be removed if he did
deserve the honour?
21. • In 2006, TIME magazine named her as ‘one
of 100 people who shape our world.’ A week
before her 16th birthday, she signed
sponsorship contracts with Nike and Sony
worth more than 10 million dollars per year.
Some of the criticism against her include
dressing inappropriately and faking a wrist
injury.
24. • "This is pretty much one of those roles that had me
pinching myself all the way through the shoot. I got to
shoot a big- budget, shamelessly old-fashioned romantic
epic set against one of the most turbulent times in my
native country's history, while, at the same time,
celebrating that country's natural beauty, its people, its
cultures.... I'll die a happy man knowing I've got this film on
my CV.” This is what Hugh Jackman had to say about acting
in this director’s latest extravagant venture. Who’s the
director?
26. • He was born in New Delhi to a British father
and an Austrian mother. His breakthrough
movie was his adaptation of George Orwell’s
1984, which was made in the time and place
in which the book was set (London, 1984). His
most famous movie remains the 1994 film Il
Postino, for which he won a BAFTA for the
‘Best film not in English language’
30. • He appeared as Prof. Gilderoy Lockhart in
‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’
and and as Major General Henning von
Tresckow who organized German resistance
against Hitler in ‘Valkyrie’. He is married to
actress Emma Thompson and has co-starred
with her in ‘Look Back in Anger’. He is
currently directing the screen adaptation of
Marvel Comics’ superhero Thor.
32. • His most recent directorial release was Blood
Brothers, a 11-minute short film, which is part
of Mira Nair's series of HIV-AIDS awareness
films. Apart from being a director, he is a
composer and a screenwriter as well, his
musical talents inherited from his father who
was a famous poet and lyricist
34. Directors of Shakespeare

• Baz Luhrmann – Romeo and Juliet
• Michael Radford – A Merchant of Venice
• Orson Welles – Chimes at Midnight (Richard II, Henry
IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, Henry V, The Merry Wives
of Windsor)
