UNOCHA Global Humanitarian Overview. Status Report of august 2014Mario Robusti
2014 has seen a major surge in humanitarian crises around the world. Inter-agency strategic response and regional response plans now target over 76 million people in thirty-one countries compared to 52 million in December 2013. 102 million people are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance compared to 81 million in December 2013. Global financial requirements to cover humanitarian needs rose from US$12.9 billion in 2013 to $17.3 billion now. More and more crises are having a regional impact with a spill-over effect on countries which are already fragile.
This Global Appeal provides updated information for governments, private donors, partners and other readers interested in UNHCR’s priorities and budgeted activities for 2023 to protect and improve the lives of tens of millions of people – refugees, asylum-seekers, returnees, internally displaced people, stateless persons, and others of concern to UNHCR. It highlights the challenges faced by UNHCR and its partners in attempting to respond to multiple life-threatening crises and ever-growing humanitarian needs
Internally Displaced Persons - An Integrated Approach to Rehabilitating IDPs ...Toluwalola Kasali
This document outlines a broad framework and implementable principles for achieving long-term rehabilitation objectives for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In anticipation of long-term development needs, there should be a framework during the period of displacement to prepare IDPs for the future by providing them with trainings in relevant skills, including literacy and numeracy training for adults, agriculture, agricultural extension services, and vocational skills. This paper provides detailed and practical approaches for implementing the framework. It also covers strategies and programs that address the needs of IDPs and focuses on humanitarian assistance, transition, reintegration and long-term development issues.

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.
