'''Research Proposal: Pretrained multilingual model Adaptation for Low Resource Languages with OCR'''
 
−
 
 
−
Pretrained multilingual models (PMMs) have advanced the natural language processing (NLP) field over recent years, but they often struggle when confronted with low-resource languages. This proposal will explore the challenges of adapting PMMs to such languages, with a current focus on Lakota and Dakota. Of the data available for endangered languages, much of it is in formats that are not machine readable. As a result, endangered languages are left out of NLP technologies. Using optical character recognition (OCR) to digitize these resources is beneficial for this dilemma, but also introduces noise.
 
−
 
 
−
The goal of this research is to determine how this noise affects model adaptation and performance for zero-shot and few-shot learning for low-resource languages. The project will involve data collection and scanning, annotation for a gold evaluation dataset, and evaluation of multiple language models across different adaptation methods and levels of noise. Additionally, we hope to expand this pipeline to more scripts and languages.
 
−
 
 
−
The potential implications of this study are broad: generalizability to languages not included in the study as well as providing insight into how noise affects model adaptation and the types of noise that are most harmful. This project aims to address the unique challenges of Lakota and Dakota as well as develop the field’s understanding of how models may be adapted to include low-resource languages, working towards more inclusive NLP technologies.

'''The differential and irreplaceable contributions of academia and industry to AI research'''
 
−
 
 
−
Striking recent advances by industry’s artificial intelligence (AI) have stunned the academic world, making us rethink whether academia should just follow industry’s lead. Due to its open publication, citation, and code-sharing culture, AI offers a rare opportunity to investigate whether these recent advances are outliers or something more systematic. In the present study, we investigate the impact and novelty of academic and industry AI research across 58 conferences—the primary publication medium of AI—involving 292,185 articles and 524 state-of-the-art models from 1995 to 2020. Our findings reveal an overall seismic shift in impact and novelty metrics, which started around 2015, presumably motivated by deep learning. In the most recent measures, an article published by an exclusively industry team dominates impact, with a 73.78 percent higher chance of being highly cited, 12.80 percent higher chance of being citation-disruptive, and several times more likely to produce state-of-the-art models. In contrast, we find that academic teams dominate novelty, having a striking 2.8 times more likelihood of producing novel, atypical work. Controlling for potential confounding factors such as subfield, team size, seniority, and prestige, we find that academia–industry collaborations are unable to simultaneously replicate the impact and novelty of non-collaborative teams, suggesting each environment offers irreplaceable contributions to advance AI.
