“关键在于做事的方式”:关注过程以更好地用语言技术服务原住民社区
"It's how you do things that matters": Attending to Process to Better Serve Indigenous Communities with Language Technologies
AI总结:
本文基于对17位研究者的访谈,探讨为原住民语言构建NLP技术的伦理问题,主张应关注与原住民社区互动的过程而非仅重成果,以更好地服务这些社区。
摘要:
原住民语言在历史上一直未得到自然语言处理(NLP)技术的充分服务,但近年来,随着大规模多语言模型的扩展以及NLP社区对濒危语言关注度的提升,这一状况对某些语言而言正在改变。本文是一篇立场论文,基于此类项目应主要服务于原住民社区的前提,探讨了为原住民语言构建NLP技术时的伦理考量。我们报告了对17位在澳大利亚与原住民和/或托雷斯海峡岛民社区合作开展语言技术项目的研究人员的访谈结果。借鉴访谈中的见解,我们建议NLP研究人员在实践过程中更加关注与原住民社区互动的过程,而非仅仅聚焦于脱离情境的产物。
英文摘要:
Indigenous languages are historically under-served by Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies, but this is changing for some languages with the recent scaling of large multilingual models and an increased focus by the NLP community on endangered languages. This position paper explores ethical considerations in building NLP technologies for Indigenous languages, based on the premise that such projects should primarily serve Indigenous communities. We report on interviews with 17 researchers working in or with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities on language technology projects in Australia. Drawing on insights from the interviews, we recommend practices for NLP researchers to increase attention to the process of engagements with Indigenous communities, rather than focusing only on decontextualised artefacts.
