I wanted to show that you could ask these questions about pretty much any language (including English). But I'm glad you asked these questions because this opinion is very common among NLP practitioners and I'm curious how we should respond
Shoutout to fellow organizers: Aravind Krishnan @a-krishnan.bsky.social, Francesco Paissan @fpaissan.bsky.social, Cem Subakan, Mirco Ravanelli, and Dietrich Klakow

Paper submission deadline π 12 February 2025
In a different universe:
Why do we publish English only resources?
linguistic findings?β weak due to focus on a single language
support model multilinguality? βso why this specific morphologically poor language?
Spoken by a large population?β why don't work on Mandarin instead?
That's rigth. It is just an NN, only one hidden layer
Another question to the speech community here: Which paper is considered to be the first paper on speech recognition that used DNNs?
This one: Acoustic Modeling using Deep Belief Networks
Abdel-rahman Mohamed, George E. Dahl, and Geoffrey Hinton? IEEE TASLP
or another...?
It depends on what you mean by speech recognition
If you have a broad definition, you could back to 1980s π

I am working on speech translation nowadays, does that count as MT? π
Damn Duo!
I did not need a reminder of that π

Nah I don't like question answering. For answers please see Yoav Goldberg's comment
Not this bit.
But "So far it seems they [LLMs] have been a great toy." is indeed a controversial opinion
Yoav Goldberg answered Zerak's question in his comment (from an NLP practioner's perspective), although LLMs are not just for NLP stuff
Do you seriously mean that or you intentionally wrote a controversial opinion so people come and attack you? π
