How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Getting Gender Right in Neural Machine Translation (2019, background): “Speakers of different languages must attend to and encode strikingly different aspects of the world in order to use their language correctly (Sapir, 1921; Slobin, 1996).”
Language is Power: Representing States Using Natural Language in Reinforcement Learning. (2019, methodology): “In this work, we challenge current representation techniques and suggest to represent the state using natural language, similar to the way we, as humans, summarize and transfer information efficiently from one to the other [Sapir, 2004].”
CULTURE IN LANGUAGE LEARNING AND TEACHING (2005, background): “If we turn to the relationship between culture and language, we see some remarkable comments; for example, Sapir (1921) argued that ‘language, race, and culture are not necessarily correlated’, adding the remark ‘language and our thought-grooves are inextricably interrelated, are, in a sense, one…”
The Natural Language of Actions (2019, unknown): “One definition tells us that language is “a purely human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions, and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols” (Sapir, 1921).”
