I see. As you say, you seem to be using a definition of the word "interpret" that goes beyond the dictionary definition. In my talk, I was using the dictionary definition when I suggested that AI told might help us to interpret language patterns.

I'm a bit confused. I used the Cambridge definition of interpretation above. If you agree with the definition and accept that AI models can explain things, doesn't it follow that they can offer useful interpretations?

Interesting! The Cambridge Dictionary defines interpretation as "an explanation or opinion of what something means". Do you think that AI is not able to explain things? Perhaps try asking ChatGPT to explain "Corpus Linguistics". I think you'll find that it's ability to explain is pretty good.

Thank you so much for coming! So, what are your thoughts? Do you think I made a convincing argument?

Thank you so much for coming to my talk last week! I really appreciate the kind words about the talk, too. The picture is fantastic! It's one of only 3 or 4 that I have, so it's very special.

Thank you for all the great chats over breakfast each morning. They were the perfect start to the day getting the brain firing. Hope to see you soon!

Just catching up on social media now that I'm back in Japan. Lovely to see you at #CL2025 as always. Thank you for the great workshop, too. Congrats on the new release of #WMatrix.

It is a great honor. I am very much looking forward to working with you all.

It's a great honor to be serving as a guest professor at DHSS. Very much looking forward to the new possibilities for collaboration that the position allows for.

It was so lovely to see you at the conference. Thank you for the kind words about my talk. It seems to have generated a lot of discussion, which is great to see. As you say, the photo really does perfectly capture the evening, too. I could not have asked for a better venue.

Thank you! It was great to see you at the conference.

Thank you! Glad you found it useful.

Thanks for taking the photo. It’ll be a nice reminder of the event.

Thanks! There are so many possibilities.

Glad you like it. The new interface is much simpler than in the past (but with the same functionality). I’m hoping it will be easier to use and explain.

Nice summary of the main point from my talk. Thank you for coming!
