Welcome to the new Mizzima Weekly !
Mizzima Media Group is pleased to announce the relaunch of Mizzima Weekly. Mizzima is dedicated to helping our readers and viewers keep up to date on the latest developments in Myanmar and related to Myanmar by offering analysis and insight into the subjects that matter. Our websites and our social media channels provide readers and viewers with up-to-the-minute and up-to-date news, which we don’t necessarily need to replicate in our Mizzima Weekly magazine. But where we see a gap is in providing more analysis, insight and in-depth coverage of Myanmar, that is of particular interest to a range of readers.
role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
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.

October Newsletter
Dear Washington youth,
LYAC has hit the ground running and getting a great start to this
year’s term. The leadership team, comprised of Vice Chair Nadine Gibson,
Legislative Affairs Director Daniel Tyshler, Public Relations Director
Meiqi Liang, and myself, Chair Jenna Yuan, are hard at work in our new
roles preparing the Council’s groups and committees to create the year’s
youth related focuses. With these focuses, LYAC will add a youth voice to
change-making conversations at the Capitol.
We also received a couple of exciting opportunities. Vice Chair
Nadine Gibson, and I were invited to speak with the Sexual Health
Education Program of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
relating to more comprehensive and inclusive sex education. It was an
incredible opportunity to be able to truly advocate on pressing matter for
the youth of this state. Additionally, LYAC represented a youth voice on
the Teacher of the Year Selection Committee at OSPI for the statewide
Teach of the Year Award. The experience was engaging and a great
opportunity to recognize true talent and leadership.
As a council, we are excited for what lies ahead this year. We are
committed to our core mission of representing Washington's youth to the
fullest extent of our abilities and are looking forward to a wonderful,
successful 2020. We wish you a very happy and productive fall season!
Sincerely,
Jenna Yuan
Chair
Washington Legislative Youth Advisory Council
