The Future

The Big Dream (once again)
Dave Bowman: “Open the pod bay doors, HAL”
HAL 9000: “I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Two Important Directions We Touched
•Semantics
•Machine Translation
Critical for the overalladvancement of the field
Practical, within the reachof current technology

Two Important Directions We Touched
•Semantics
•Machine Translation

Semantics: Revolution is Needed?•If we want the dream come true, we should
- not rely on superficial statistics alone- need to get to the meaning of text
•A revolution in semantics is needed- looking at words is not enough- we need better models for
o multi-word expressions (~70% of terminology)o semantic relations (meaning is in the links!)
•The revolution will be supported by- Web-scale corpora- linguistic knowledge
“Moving Lexical Semanticsfrom Alchemy to Science”
Discussion on [Corpora-List]
• This is what Chomsky has done with syntax.• Should we expect the same for lexical semantics?

Semantics has emerged from a marginal to a dominant position.

Deep neural networks – the new revolution:• Speech recognition• Machine translation• Semantics
BUT can they:- scale to the Web?- model linguistic structure- handle MWEs- use linguistic knowledge

The Future?
Three words: Web, semantics, linguistics
and deep neural networks?

The Future is Now?•Books
- Algorithm by Philip Parker, Inseado 1,000,000+ books generatedo 100,000+ being sold at Amazon
•Robo journalism- tons of articles generated today- by 2025, can cover 90%
•What is next- Fake reviews?- Computers mining text written by other computers?- From Computational to Computer Linguistics?- …

Hiroshima & Nagasaki•26/07/1945: Potsdam declaration was an ultimatum to Japan: capitulate or face “prompt and utter destruction”
•Japan’s prime minister Kantaro Suzuki at a press-conference: “No comment. We keep discussing.”
•He used the word mokusatsu, which can mean (a) no comment, or (b) we reject.
•10 days later…

The Future?Will the next nuclear war start because of a computer translation?

Artificial Intelligence as a Threat
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
Stephen Hawking
“I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. ...and don't understand why some people are not concerned..”
Bill Gates
“I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that.”
Elon Musk (donated $10 million to Future of Life Institute)
