The document discusses the settlement of the American West following the Civil War. It summarizes that the growth of railroads accelerated western migration, carrying settlers who were mostly ranchers, farmers, and miners. Key figures in railroad expansion included Leland Stanford and Cornelius Vanderbilt. The Transcontinental Railroad, completed in 1869, connected the eastern and western United States and further improved travel westward. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement of the Great Plains by offering free land. Four factors drew settlers to the central plains: the Homestead Act, fertile land, the steel plow, and flat terrain. However, this displaced Native Americans, leading to conflicts and wars as settlers took over indigenous lands.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
