Faith Organizations and the 2020 Census: Connecting Communities Through the P...TechSoup
The 2020 Census is online for the first time ever, posing real hurdles for communities with limited internet access to get connected and be counted. At the same time, we have all been forced online by the COVID-19 pandemic and may be yet for months to come.
Fair Count, a nonprofit nonpartisan organization, founded by Stacey Abrams, has been working with faith-based organizations to ensure they have the tools they need to connect with their community during this crisis. In addition, Fair Count is working to ensure their communities are counted and ultimately able to continue using good, simple technologies to keep connecting with their communities beyond
Join this webinar led by Fair Count who will share how they’ve built a movement to:
- engage faith leaders to help educate their communities about the upcoming census, coordinate mobilization efforts and increase Internet access in places with low connectivity
- support communities with zero or limited Internet connectivity to get online and get counted
- increase civic participation in communities that are often undercounted and underserved long after the census has ended

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.
