"It’s relatively easy to train a model with basic coding experience, but few people have training in how to interpret results from a linguistic standpoint, changing the angle from which I’d work on a problem and opening new opportunities for me."</p><p>Learn more about linguistics at Georgia Tech and how some students are benefitting from these skills in the job market by reading the <a href="https://iac.gatech.edu/featured-news/2026/06/linguistics-STEM-AI">full story</a>.</p>]]></body>
