A core part of USiL's mission is to illustrate prospective industry paths for linguistics students. As Gridspacers articulated during a panel, there is an overwhelming emphasis on academia within the field. Talking about the vast range of careers that linguistics skills apply to is one thing, as is bringing in professionals to speak to our students on campus. After today's visit to Gridspace, it is irrefutable that the impact of learning about and witnessing the extension of linguistics in an industrial setting is unmatched. Thank you to Anthony Scodary, Cooper Johnson, Fulang Chen, and the entire Gridspace team for this opportunity.
A huge thank you to the Undergraduate Students in Linguistics @ USC (@USiL) for visiting us! It was a pleasure sharing insights into the practical applications of #linguistics in the field of conversational #AI. Thank for sharing your curiosity and afternoon with us!
