emilymbender In that time, I've seen countless computer scientists make that assertion, but never on the basis of any actual research to back it up. It's always in the form of justifying what they are interested in doing anyway: applying machine learning to the problem.
emilymbender Second, "computer scientists realized" suggests that computer scientists somehow came across or established the truth of that proposition. By why would computer scientists have the relevant expertise to do that work? (As a general rule, they don't.)
emilymbender So this means that the author of that sentence is presupposing that it is true that "human languages are too complex to be effectively represented by hand-crafted rules" ... and not providing any evidence for that statement.
emilymbender First off, the verb "realized" is factive, in the sense that it introduces a presupposition of the truth of its complement. (For a more nuanced classification of verbs along these lines, see: de Marneffe et al 2019 ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.php/… )
emilymbender Ran across this phrase in some science journalism this morning: "Computer scientists soon realized that human languages were too complex to be effectively represented by hand-crafted rules." and I have some **thoughts**.
