Yes, but this is one of those rare areas where the purported academic "state of the art" is far below the _actual_ state of the art in the industry. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that they're releasing results at all, and NLP has gotten really exciting in the past couple of years thanks to those publications. It's just that there seems to be a bit of a research bubble going on and people are veering into ever more exotic and obscure problems before they've achieved _actual_ SOTA result on even some of the most common language pairs.
