In Week 3 we discussed about minoritised and endangered languages and how small data has important consequences on how we approach quantitative methods.
This week’s discussion is still on sample size: the use of big data for language technology.
What are the ethical considerations when working in language technology?
What limitations does big data have?
Is it possible to develop language technology without a deep descriptive understanding of the language and language community?
Which role does uncertainty play in the context of developing language technology?
