With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, higher education actively explored its applications in the humanities and social sciences. Yuan Ze University’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) integrated the concept of metaliteracy and incorporated AI into language learning, art design, and cultural studies. Through multiple innovative courses, the college enhanced students’ digital application skills and ethical awareness.
The AI R&D team led by Professor Chao Yao-Geng from Yuan Ze University’s Department of Electrical Engineering successfully developed a globally leading AI MCI rapid screening tool with support from Qualcomm’s program in the United States. Utilizing large language models and deep learning technology, the team created a non-invasive "picture description" speech test that required only one minute to complete. This screening could be conducted remotely via the LINE platform, allowing users to easily test for MCI at home using a smartphone or tablet. The innovation significantly enhanced the early detection rate of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Yuan Ze University’s 36th Anniversary Celebration will take place on March 8. The event features a sports day, a campus fair, and a community arts festival, while also welcoming high school students to visit the campus and participate in various college week activities.
To help students continue improving their English proficiency during the winter break, Yuan Ze University’s International Language and Culture Center held the “Challenge Your Limits: English Winter Camp” from February 4 to 7. The three-day intensive program combined carefully designed lessons with a “cultural journey” led by foreign teachers, allowing students to integrate their classroom learning into real-life experiences and naturally enhance their English skills through interaction and exploration.
