Bridging the gap: navigating the transition from design school to UX design in the real world

ISTD COIL Seminar by Samath Aravinda & Imran Nordin – In this talk, we will delve into my personal journey as a UX designer, highlighting the essential design processes that drive successful projects. We will discuss the myriad opportunities available in the field, from emerging technologies to innovative methodologies, and how these can shape your career trajectory. To enrich our discussion, I am excited to introduce my colleague, a seasoned UX researcher, who will present for 15-20 minutes on the UX research process. He will cover key methodologies, tools, and techniques used to gather user insights that inform design decisions.

LLMs for out-of-domain use cases

ISTD COIL Seminar by Anirudh Shrinivason – This talk will “delve” into Cohere’s strategies for harnessing the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) within the enterprise domain. By exploring fine-tuning techniques and the integration of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), we aim to showcase how these methods can be tailored to solve complex, industry-specific challenges.
