Linguistically naïve != language independent

EBEmily M. Bender

Key Points

  • The aim is to establish that integrating linguistic knowledge is essential for developing language-independent natural language processing systems.
  • Position paper discussing the need for linguistic knowledge in NLP systems.
  • Focus on the generalizations from linguistic typology rather than intricate rule systems.
  • Argues that true language independence cannot be achieved without considering linguistic variation.
  • Highlights the importance of understanding different linguistic structures across languages.

Abstract

In this position paper, I argue that in order to create truly language-independent NLP systems, we need to incorporate linguistic knowledge. The linguistic knowledge in question is not intricate rule systems, but generalizations from linguistic typology about the range of variation in linguistic structures across languages.
