Do you mean guys w/ undergrad or graduate degrees? CAM, who attended UCLA from 1972-4, and whose mother attended UCLA as well Thanks, Ananda!

Not all of these guys were primarily trained on computational linguistics to begin with (the analytical training they got in Linguistics prepared them to learn on the job)... I believe that they have been doing a good job and making progress in their careers. I am working on going that way too. Thank you for the post! Ananda Hi Curt,

We also hire domain experts in e-publishing obviously. Quebec universities have comprehensive programs in computational linguistic.

Thanks, CAM Jean-Francois,

Computational linguists are indeed a top priority, mostly full time employees. Same is true for Nstein. Computational linguists are indeed a top priority, mostly full time employees.
