Various syntactic theories (HPSG, GPSG, minimalism, construction grammars) from linguistics are certainly derived constructs, but most researchers would agree that they all reflect real abstractions that humans make. I think the NLP communi

Nature by default doesn't have nuclear weapons, stock exchanges, global supply chains, industrial manufacturing, central banks, etc. Humans need morals (and norms more generally) in order to ensure that the above serve us rather than h

This question gnaws at my bones, too. Best answer so far wrt the upper middle class: logics of capitalism (competition, accumulation) combined with ethnic/cultural/ideological/socioeconomic isolation makes it hard to identify

I agree with the above, but I think there's also a more general Scandinavian/Swiss/German ethic that strongly values playing by the rules. Many citizens in these countries have a very different view of government than most do

Me too... I think it is the narration that kills it for most people. I get the distinct feeling that someone decided at the last minute that the audience needed to be spoon-fed explanations for everything. Star Wars did just fine with equal

For the record, 97% on canonical test datasets with little recent progress doesn't mean that it's a solved problem. Admittedly, part of the problem is that elementary school POS categories aren't a great model of natural lang

Interesting, I think ggplot of it as the replacement for base graphics. Lattice is for fast, ugly plots but with fast development time; I could always build things up piece-by-piece with base graphics but ggplot makes it more convenient.

Their website won't let me see the article without turning off my ad blocker. Thanks, but no thanks. Are there ways to spoof this?

Berkeley is hard to cluster... the undergrad population has a much more diverse demographic profile (hugely more first-generation college students & more nonwhite students). I'd say the students have more raw talent, but generally

That seems like a weird assertion on the part of whatever you read, because 1) it isn't clear what constitutes a separate, well-defined language (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialect_continuum ) and 2) mutual

"Objective enough" isn't the issue, rather it's how confident we are in the inferences. And yes, I would say that the new methods are preferable because 1) they do a better job of explicitly quantifying and representing

Besides the dubious economics of it in places that aren't saturated with coffeeshops, I don't think I'd want delivery coffee. I always use a run to the coffeeshop (if I'm coming back to the office) as a way to clear my h

I'll wager RNNs in NLP given Ilya's background. Probably moving towards increasingly rich models of natural language semantics and pragmatics.

The premise of a countable number of languages should tip off the reader that this is mostly for entertainment value; Africa appears to be entirely missing (bad data source?). I like the visualization though, in that it relates nation-state

If we accept Cowen's premise regarding what constitutes value, Kant and Hegel were crappy authors because they had a small number of pageviews. We probably should have valued their contributions less; it's great we have such objec

I think the pro-free-trade, anti-regulation, anti-union, and anti-populist sentiment used to be limited to the 'leaders' or specific editorials; since ~2006 it has become much more common in the content articles. I think it's

This sounds like a first-world problem. How about we abolish hunger / fix our food distribution systems or ensure access to safe drinking water? Then we can double-back and end forced labor (the actual demand set forth in the article—s
