On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big? 🦜

This is an audio presentation of the pre-print version of Flickinger et al 2017:

Flickinger, Dan, Stephan Oepen and Emily M. Bender. 2017. Sustainable Development and Refinement of Complex Linguistic Annotations at Scale. In Ide, Nancy and James Pustejovsky (eds), Handbook of Linguistic Annotation Science. Springer. pp.353-377.

The text of the pre-print can be found at: http://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/english/people/aca/oe/handbook.pdf

I have not attempted to render the figures in this paper in this audio version. The interested listener is invited to examine them in the paper.

Sustainable Development and Refinement of Complex Linguistic Annotations at Scale

This is an audio presentation of:

Bender, Emily M. 2019. The #BenderRule: On Naming the Languages We Study and Why It Matters. The Gradient, 14 September 2019.

Text version available at: https://thegradient.pub/the-benderrule-on-naming-the-languages-we-study-and-why-it-matters/
Full bibliography available at: http://faculty.washington.edu/ebender/papers/BenderRule_TheGradient-refs.pdf

Notes: This recording presented new challenges of rendering a table and some tweets in spoken form. I'm not sure I came up with an optimal solution... You may also notice that the footnote numbers don't appear to be consecutive. This is because the markdown format of the original publication merged contentful footnotes with footnotes used to give bibliographical information and I refrained from voicing the latter.
