All scientific field distinctions are ultimately socially defined categories. So the Transformers paper was an “NLP paper” not because it was about language modeling and MT, but because Vaswani went on to do grammatical inference algorithms for mRNA. That is real “NLP researcher“ behavior.

Pretty much all ML/NLP research since 2007 was based on Common Crawl which was scraped web pages. BERT was trained off of Wikipedia dumps.
It was far from taboo in ML research, it's just that the research was made a product that went mainstream.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I've started a "History of NLP" repo to store all of these resources. I don't have time to add everything yet, but I'll keep chipping away, and help is welcome.

Want to be a beta partner of our upcoming product for agentic NLP? We're looking for teams who need help with their NLP projects, especially around tasks like information extraction.
Ellf is a virtual assistant for NLP projects – think Claude Code, but with NLP superpowers, or "Vibe NLP" ✨

i think it's sort of worse, in that LLMs did not solve any meaningful question about NLP while simultaneously obliterating any practical application for the field
My pet theory is that they're mostly mad that LLMs kind of solved their entire field, but that's more a tongue-in-gyrus thought than anything else

There's been a lot of work on "culture" in NLP, but not much agreement on what it is.
A position paper by me, @dbamman.bsky.social, and @ibleaman.bsky.social on cultural NLP: what we want, what we have, and how sociocultural linguistics can clarify things.

Tokenization is a wildly understudied area of language modeling despite it having effects across all of NLP. Over the past ~8 months, 32 (!) tokenizer researchers put together the most comprehensive survey of the field. Check it out!
