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.

2. Three periods of Japanese
political system
1945-55 – immediate postwar period;
1955-93 – “1955 system”;
1994 – present – post-political reform period.
The 1955 system was characterized by LDP dominance,
economic growth and a cohesive and powerful
bureaucracy.
3. An overview of the institutions that prevailed under
the 1955 system,
A description of the political and administrative
reforms enacted in the 1990s and a brief discussion
how these reforms have influenced politicians,
political parties, the prime minister, the bureaucracy
and the policymaking process.

The Diet;
The prime minister;
The electoral system;
Political parties;
Political funding and electioneering;
• Political reform in the 1990s;

5. The Diet
National Diet – Japanese legislative body;
Article 41 of the constitution – the Diet “shall be the

sole law-making organ of the State”.
6. The Diet
House of
Representatives
House of

7. The prime minister
Formal powers: The head of the cabinet, has the power

Informal powers, including the prime minister`s support
base in the party, popularity, influence over the
bureaucracy, ties to the opposition parties, and
experience.
8. The electoral system
1955 system – the electoral system for Lower House
was a multiple-member district system with a single
nontransferable vote (MMD/SNTV) – multipartyism
with one dominant party, the LDP.
The disadvantages - made it more difficult for parties
to run the “right” number of candidates and divide the
vote equally among them => over- nomination and
under-nomination.
9. 1983 – from MMD/SNTV to proportional
representation (PR) list => to make the
contests more party-centered, but
increased competition for party list
ranking.
2000 – from PR to an open list system
which allows voters to select either or
party or individual candidate in the PR
ballot.

web information from unofficial
sources.

ideologically driven. Main goal - to stay in power.
Support base (1955) – farmers and rural communities, industry/corporate
Japan, small business, construction and self-employed.
One of the main reasons the LDP was able to stay in power from 1955-93
was its ability to adjust its policies in response to new economic and
politic realities, “crisis and compensation” strategy.
JSP (Japan Socialist Party) – was the progressive party on the left
with strong ties to public sector union.
Support base – public service labor unions, small business,
professionals, intellectuals and farmers.
DSP (1960) – exclusive worker support and creating a broader base.
Main support – private sector. Dissolved in 1994.
The Komeito or CGP – political arm of Buddhist lay organization, to
promote “cleaner”, less corrupt politics. Supported world peace,
humanitarian socialism, progressive taxes and the nationalization of key
industries. Base – women, youth and underclass.

Leninism. Base – women, youth, doctors, lawyers, nontraditional
supporters of Communist parties.
13. Political reform in the 1990s

Public Office Election Law replaced the MMD/SNTV system
with a combined single-member district (SMD) and proportional
representation (PR) system;
