Dear Ben, Rodolfo, and Toms Please accept that there is a responsibility to science, technology, engineering, and education (or anything that we undertake).
If you could point out the specific arguments as to which of what I wrote may be problematic to you, perhaps we can have a constructive exchange. The way in which you three expressed your sentiments on this thread can be interpreted as mobbing. Please note the intent behind my statement and lend me the benefit of a doubt as to why I would have invested my time and energy to write the reply that I did to the list: "As language sciences (e.g. Linguistics) and NLP are still taught at some universities, i.e. part of publicly accessible education, there is a general responsibility that one should bear when promoting/hosting events that would be explicitly/implicitly supporting biases and/or in violation of scientific integrity." This applies to the whole area of computing, including digital humanities and the computational social sciences.* In short, there are no symbolic concepts relevant in computing / computational processing.* I am sorry if that has not been clear. I understand that there are members in the CL/NLP community/communities who might be interested in (or used/addicted to) "word" hacking. But it is now high time to stop. @Ben: Please note that I am not doing this "for fun". I am not trying to ridicule anyone. My remarks are not ad personam. For each of the research directions/practices that I commented on, there are opportunities for all practitioners to do a better job, to refine our analyses.
