Exactly. That's the whole point of what we've been trying to say. Linguists in the room aren't just unhelpful, but counterproductive. It's actively better that their wrong ideas of human language aren't included into models.

For a concrete example of this, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parse_tree

People have been trying to incorporate grammar tree's into models for forever and a half. Every time it's been tried it either is actively worse than letting the model come up with it's own representation, or slightly better at best if our model isn't complex enough.

>The idea is to build analogies between the two domains so you can see how they approach similar or interesting problems. You're rummaging through Education's garage, looking for tools to steal.

The whole problem is that there's more garbage in education to sift through than just coming up with new ideas by rummaging through DL literature. If you check the CS section of Arxiv, there's a million times the amount of ideas that haven't been fully explored and unlike linguistics or Education, actually have a decent chance of working. The whole point is that the field is 99% garbage for computational based applications, and researcher time is much better spent doing *literally anything else*.
