I found the episode very interesting, and am curious whether you would be open to having someone on from a CS/ML background to give a perspective on the same question? (e.g., an NLP academic based in CS) Of course, I realise the podcast is *ling*thusiasm, so that may not fit with your approach :)

The joke’s on both of you - the post is already available on an open access server!

More broadly, part of the philosophy of ARR is that we will change / improve, including via community feedback (lots of changes have happened since it started).

We are just one corner of AI though :)

In the case of this survey, it was advertised to all ACL members, all authors and reviewers in ARR, and on social media, so hopefully we got a representative sample. I haven’t seen the results yet, but am very curious!

Maybe we are doing too good a job of teaching computational thinking and so their minds have become entirely discrete

Integration by parts is definitely in the Australian high school curriculum, but maybe only for extension mathematics? Should be covered in first year calculus though

If you want an iPhone only lightweight time tracking app, I wrote this one: apps.apple.com/au/app/fast-...

The key missing feature for me at the time in other apps was the ability to change the timer without unlocking the screen. So I made an app with a widget to let me do that.
‎Fast Time Log
‎Efficiently track how you spend your time: - One tap to change timers. - Tap and drag to edit your time log, or double tap for more options. - Use the Today extension to switch timers with a single ...

Another approach would be to give people a list of words and ask them to rate them as plausible continuations, but that seems hard to do at a statistically meaningful scale

True, as people will go for the most likely thing, and virtually no one will choose an option that we all agree is plausible but unlikely.

I also do this as a game in my first lecture of semester - I say a phrase and the whole class has to shout out the next word

I would expect a linguistics paper somewhere that has done this (possibly with a restricted vocabulary)

Also curious about this!
