== Natural language processing task force ==

Hi! I had an inquiry regarding starting a new dedicated task force specifically for  [[:Category:Natural language processing]] and [[:Category:Computational linguistics]] (which have significant overlap). I know that computational linguistics is currently covered by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Linguistics/Applied|Applied Linguistics Taskforce]] from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Linguistics|WikiProject Linguistics]], but I was thinking that a new task force under WikiProject Linguistics dedicated specifically to NLP in collaboration with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing|WikiProject Computing]] (or another computationally oriented WikiProject) and potentially [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Artificial Intelligence|WikiProject Artificial Intelligence]] could benefit the area of computational linguistics and NLP.

I have given a quick look through many of the NLP articles (and made one or two edits) and they require a significant amount of updating due to how rapidly the field has evolved, even within the last few years (and sometimes months), especially with how interdisciplinary a field it is. I think that a new task force with editors familiar with the intersection of all these fields could really improve these articles during a time where these tools are becoming increasingly powerful and impactful.

I am a very new editor, so I may definitely be misunderstanding how new taskforces are created (I do know I need others to want to contribute), but leaving this as solely a linguistics project, especially when Applied Linguistics is already covering a wide variety of different subjects, doesn’t seem ideal. I would really love some guidance because this is a project I would love to get off the ground. [[User:Jacob Rampino|Jacob Rampino]] ([[User talk:Jacob Rampino|talk]]) 02:11, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

:Your best approach would be to make this same proposal over on the Wikiproject, where you would have a more focused audience than here at the Teahouse. ~[[User:Anachronist|Anachronist]] (who / me) <small>([[User talk:Anachronist|talk]])</small> 04:59, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks! Will do. Just wanted to get a general idea of whether it seemed implausible at face value. [[User:Jacob Rampino|Jacob Rampino]] ([[User talk:Jacob Rampino|talk]]) 05:18, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
