Regex is ubiquitous in the programming world because of its usefulness as a rule-based text parsing language. Programmers find comfort in the idea of writing explicit, modifiable rules in order to parse text. This is in contrast with black-box statistical models, which cannot be modified when things go wrong – […]
I have been in computational linguistics for more than 40 years, and this is the first time I have been to the most important conference in our field: the annual Association of Computational Linguistics (ACL) Conference. As part of the registration process, I became a member for the first time […]
Trustworthy NLP systems must be rule and knowledge based given all statistical systems like large language models, machine learning, and neural networks are not. With the advent of large language models that can be queried about common knowledge, it is natural to use them to generate linguistic and world knowledge […]
