ACL 2022 Highlights

Sebastian Ruder

The initiative focuses on making Computational Linguistics (CL) research accessible in 60 languages and across all modalities, including text/speech/sign language translation, closed captioning, and dubbing. To supervise models, we can use incidental supervision such as comparable texts ( Roth, 2017 ).

We will be the first species ever to design our own descendants,” technologist Sam Altman, now the CEO of OpenAI, wrote in a 2017 blog post. “My We’re kind of at the point where we can make fire but do not even have the rudiments of what we’d need to understand it,” my friend Luke Gessler , a computational linguist, told me.
