So 12 years ago. (The page doesn't have dates, and the links are broken.)
- avgcorrection 4y agoQuite annoying. Goes to the trouble of a citation list but not a single date of authorship.
- simonw 4y agoYeah I had to dig around in the Internet Archive to figure out when this was written: https://web.archive.org/web/20110527123842/https://norvig.com/chomsky.html https://web.archive.org/web/20110527123842/https://norvig.co...
- VHRanger 4y agoSure, but we had Word2Vec and some primitive RNN-based language models 12 years ago. Arguably Word2Vec was the first big qualitative jump in NLP. Super modern LLMs (say, starting with BERT -- ChatGPT isn't really a qualitative jump from those as much as a quantitative one) are another one that's maybe 4 years old.
- jeffhwang 4y agoYes this bothered me too. I vaguely knew MIT was founded in the 1860s so I guessed the rough date of the talk. What clarified it for me was this quote “I then looked at all the titles and abstracts from the current issue of Science” where the link still works: https://www.science.org/toc/science/332/6032 https://www.science.org/toc/science/332/6032 May 2011
