Why language processing is not "natural" at all. Towards a cultural grounding of NLP
Humanities
Prof. Christoph Purschke (University of Luxembourg) argues for a cultural grounding of Natural Language Processing to advance its understanding of language as being social, embodied and highly dependent on contextual factors like world knowledge. Doing so has many implications for central concepts in NLP like bias, model, or meaning, e.g., in the context of tasks like sentiment analysis.
