Last leg on our brief history of NLP (so far) is the advent of large language models with GPT-3 in 2020 and the introduction of learning from the prompt (aka few-shot learning).

Study of the peculiar variable star Khavchenko 1
The work is devoted to the study of the peculiar variable star Khavchenko 1 in Auriga. It was discovered by the 7th grade student Sergey Khavchenko in 2020. The brightness of the star varies with an amplitude of about 0.4 magnitude and the period of 4.213 days. Initially the star could not have been attributed to any known type of variability. Its light curve looks like the upside-down light curve of the eclipsing binary similar to that of luminous red nova V1309 Scorpii a few years before the …

Temporally Extending Existing Web Archive Collections for Longitudinal Analysis
The Environmental Governance and Data Initiative (EDGI) regularly crawled US federal environmental websites between 2016 and 2020 to capture changes between two presidential administrations. However, because it does not include the previous administration ending in 2008, the collection is unsuitable for answering our research question, Were the website terms deleted by the Trump administration (2017--2021) added by the Obama administration (2009--2017)? Thus, like many researchers using the Way…

Detection, attribution, and modeling of climate change: key open issues
The CMIP global climate models (GCMs) assess that nearly 100% of global surface warming observed between 1850-1900 and 2011-2020 is attributable to anthropogenic drivers like greenhouse gas emissions. These models also generate future climate projections based on shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), aiding in risk assessment and the development of costly Net-Zero climate mitigation strategies. Yet, the CMIP GCMs face significant scientific challenges in attributing and modeling climate change,…
