Hi Linas, As also a native EN speaker myself, I know "w*rds" is a very colloquial term that gets used often. It got "cemented" via computational implementation* and hence reinforced people's idea of what grammar is or ought to be. I am not "undoing" EN writing (that'd be nonsense --- writing is a

[Corpora-List]Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Complex Word Identification in French

The notion of 'word' has difficulties in linguistics. But not enough for abandoning it. The argument from the paper "Fairness in Representation for Multilingual NLP" is not convincing at all. Even if the early findings are correct for transformers , applicability to human language faculty is not

[Corpora-List]Re: Complex Word Identification in French

Hi Ada, In the English language, "words" are a thing. Children are taught to place spaces between "words". You're not going to undo a millennium-worth of English writing by discouraging the use of words. Much of Latin was written without blank spaces to denote word boundaries. In Chinese

[Corpora-List]Re: Complex Word Identification in French

I used "term" bc it makes room for a little bit of (mental) shifting for some ppl... Everyone (non-specialists included) uses "w*rd". Nothing is 100% --- when it comes to "language" or abstract concepts (or everything in the empirical world?), but 99% is better than 98 or 60%. (E.g. we may have

Yeah... I really don't know what to do with "the resistance", "the ignorance" (as in, both the practice of intentionally ignoring my results, and otherwise)... etc.. Many of us are so used to both naming and processing at such granularity... it'd take the whole world for change to happen and I

Just to clarify my position, I don't actually think that the En. lexeme “w*rd” is easy to define, precise or theoretically well-founded (I prefer “lexeme” here, as Ada's previous use of “term” is improper from a wusterian point of view, given that “w*rd” lacks distinctive traits due to its

(I just expounded on a point as a twitter reply today re the granularity of one's thinking/processing. Pls feel free to read that also.) One can think of it in a less binary manner --- not "good" vs "bad", not "words" then "sentences", but to think of an utterance/sequence with all the finer

Hi Christopher, It is of the best interest of the community to discontinue the usage of "word". The term is not only very shaky in its foundation (if any), but it can also effect disparity in performance in computational processing and robustness when human evaluation is involved. Despite the
