Huge implications for low resource and indigenous languages. #NLP #Linguistics #nolanguageleftbehind www.technologyreview.com/2025/09/25/1...

We will launch with Scottish Gaelic, courtesy of Universal Dependencies. Scottish humour comes as standard #gaelic #NLProc #languages www.instagram.com/p/DPF5YmcjzD...

We need a bench of skilled linguists who have worked on corpora and treebanks applying their skills for syntactic annotation. Attached is a list of supported languages for the first release of the bezoku platform. DM to learn more

We updated the list of papers we are reading after #syntaxfest - focused around low resource and indigenous language technology developments. What did we miss 🤷‍♂️ #NLProc #Linguistics #NLP github.com/bezokurepo/p...

“Why did the French chef kill himself? Because he lost the huile d’olive” The role of humour in language is so important, that’s why we include jokes in every corpus. #linguistics #NLProc www.reddit.com/r/French/com...

Welcome to Slovenia. #syntaxfest is in full swing and the agenda is off the charts. #syntax #semantics #morphosynyactic #linguistics #language

The team are heading to Slovenia on Monday to attend the biannual #syntaxfest DM to meet and discuss #LSTM architectures and the application of the CoNLL-U standard to #lowresourcelanguages and #indigenouslanguage #nolanguageleftbehind syntaxfest.github.io/syntaxfest25/

If true, extremely worrying. At Bezoku, we believe that language technology must be in the hands of community leaders. The unprecedented centralization of control of tech is dystopian. We need to offer better alternatives 👊

Open source has been embraced by hyperscalers to drive innovation and level the playing field. Open source wasn’t embraced to give up advantage—but to gain it.

After building our network in Florida, we have decided to re-locate to a country that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion. We have enjoyed every minute in Miami, but State and Federal government is sliding towards fascism. #DEI #Linguistics #NLProc www.latintimes.com/ignorant-mag...

We endorse this approach to re-purpose computers from Windows. We have a release in a couple of months to help add options for low resource languages #windows10 #ewaste #NLProc

We stand with the creators. Governments should not be in thrall to tech firms who exploit and extract all the value of human creativity. #copyright #extraction #data www.theguardian.com/music/2025/a...

Mmmmm. Time for a re-think. Love Miami, but the USA is starting to look like a dud for startups, especially when your focus is on inclusive technology 🤷 So where next 🌎🌍🌏 Watch this space 👊 #NLProc #linguistics #languagetech www.wired.com/story/tariff...

"200 yrs ago, the State we now call Mexico was established. After 300 yrs of the Spanish Conquista, in 1862, 65% of the population spoke an indigenous language. Today, we speakers of indigenous languages make up 6.5%… Our languages are not dying, they are being killed." - Yásnaya Aguilar #LangSky

How does the #HumanBrain re-organize, from childhood to #adolescence? This study shows that the brain undergoes multiscale structural organization changes, with differentiation in multiscale cortical wiring linked to changes in morphology & functional organization @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/42pfOml

Dialects and sociolects are a feature of human interaction and some confusion. But how would a machine handle the subtleties of this universal feature of language 🤷 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ablation studies demonstrate that language models store time-dependent information in special "temporal heads." E.g. "In YYYY, the President of South Korea was ..." #MLSky arxiv.org/abs/2502.14258

#linguistics #languages #Yucatec #Maya language, spoken by 800,000 people in the #Yucatan Peninsula, #Mexico, has different vowel qualities (short, long, reaticulated and glottalized) but only long vowels are affected by tone (high and low), as shown below:

Why do some languages use the same word for "finger" and "toe"? In her #AbralinTalk, Gemma Boleda (@gboleda.bsky.social) shows how colexification follows a Goldilocks principle: meanings grouped into one word are “just similar enough.” #langsky #linguistics

Cool to see results extended! Last year, we identified a breakthrough in masked LM training where specialized syntactic heads emerge. We didn't think the same moment would be visible in decoder-only models, but Aoyama & @wegotlieb.bsky.social have found one, also marking a decline in "humanlikeness"

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
