@sascha_wolfer Great #linguisitics paper thread! Thank you 🙏

It's amazing all the different names for all the different kinds of name there are.
Demonym, exonym, endonym, anthroponym, toponym, anthropotoponym, astionym, andronym, gynonym, etc, etc.

Never thought about making an #introduction but reading all others, I reallly find this interesting.

So I'm a senior researcher working in #industry on #NLP #IR and #conversational technlogies. Playing with good old school #linguisitics and recent #LLM and #transformer model of course.

Currently contributing to #conversational #search in a #startup and trying to find time to still publish research things (not that successful).

#linguisitics poll
If there are any people living in the North of Flanders, bordering the West-Flanders region, do you still speak or understand Flemish as spoken by your ancestors?
Voor wie in Frans-Vlaanderen woont, wie verstaat nog steeds het Vlaams zoals het gesproken werd door je voorouders?
Pour ceux qui habitent le Nord en France? Est-ce-que vous parlez ou comprenez encore le Flamand comme vos ancêtres le parlaient?
