LiannaOkay, here's a question about <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> hallucination:Anecdotally speaking, just a small amount of the false information I encounter using LLMs are produced as a direct response to my query.There seems to be much higher chance of misinformation when the LLM gives supplemental context around the main query.Is this a known phenomenon? If no, I might start a project on the topic.(Example in reply. 1/3)<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/CompLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CompLing</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/ComputationalLinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ComputationalLinguistics</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Computerlinguistik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Computerlinguistik</a> <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Linguistik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linguistik</a>

Asad SayeedHi y'all interested in a tenure-track assistant professorship in <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> / <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/psycholinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#psycholinguistics</a> / <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NLP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NLP</a> / <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/compling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compling</a> etc? There's a national competition in Sweden for funding for a position for which you need to be nominated to apply. If you have <5yr PhD age, please email or DM me with a link to a web site/CV. The catch is, I need to nominate someone (for the first selection) before 8am on Monday in Sweden. Pass it on.

LiannaI wonder how <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hashtags</a> would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#language</a> with strongly marked cases.If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilzen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pilzen</a>', because '<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilzen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pilzen</a>' is a different hashtag from '<a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/Pilze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pilze</a>'.
