Computational linguistics has rapidly evolved from early rule-based approaches to today's sophisticated neural models. I would like to open a discussion on how this field continues to adapt to challenges in language understanding, especially with the rise of large language models, multimodal systems, and low-resource language processing.
Some points to consider:
How do computational linguists balance linguistic theory with data-driven methods?
What ethical responsibilities do we face as language technologies become more integrated into daily life?
In what ways can computational linguistics better support linguistic diversity and accessibility?
I’m interested to hear your perspectives, especially from those working on applied NLP or theoretical linguistics.
