Title: Deep Learning - A Case Study of Research-Led Teaching
Where: WT102
When: Thursday November 14, 2-3pm
Abstract: A research University usually has PhD programs and good records of research publications. With more new staff members joined our school recently, especially preparing for the forthcoming PBRF, research-led teaching has shown its significance than ever before. In this talk, our teaching experience will be shared with the new colleagues. Deep learning teaching will be applied as an instance to showcase how the research outcomes could be delivered to PG students. Meanwhile, we will discuss how our PG teaching could assist the undergoing research projects and publications as a return.
