Course Objective	The goal of this course is to give students a broad overview of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms, and teach students how to develop deep learning applications by hands-on coding examples. Most examples taught in this class are based on the TensorFlow framework. We will cover many different fields including image classification, object detection, natural language processing, reinforcement learning and generative adversarial networks.

Expanding teaching and resources	● 數位科技融入 (Digital Technology Integration) 運用生成式AI、VR/AR、IoT、IRS等新興科技輔助教學與評量。 Utilizes emerging technologies such as Generative AI, VR/AR, IoT, and IRS (Interactive Response Systems) to facilitate teaching and assessment. ● 數位教材資源應用 (Application of Digital Resources) 採用影音多媒體或具開放授權之資源（如OCW、開放教科書）作為主要或輔助教材。 Adopts multimedia or open-licensed resources (e.g., OCW, Open Textbooks) as primary or supplementary teaching materials. ● 參與式創新教學 (Participatory & Innovative Teaching) 強調學生參與與產出，導入翻轉、PBL/專題、設計思考或遊戲化等策略。 Emphasizes student engagement and outcomes by adopting strategies such as Flipped Classroom, PBL (Problem/Project- Based Learning), Design Thinking, or Gamification.
The course corresponds to the SDGs	SDG3：良好健康和福祉（Good Health and Well-being） SDG4：優質教育（Quality Education） SDG8：尊嚴就業與經濟發展（Decent Work and Economic Growth） SDG10：減少不平等（Reduced Inequalities）
Does the course incorporate AI	● 使用生成式AI作為教學過程的輔助工具（Use generative AI tools as an aid to the teaching process） ● 鼓勵學生使用生成式AI工具（Encourage students to use generative AI tools） ● 使用生成式AI進行課堂即時互動（Use generative AI for real-time classroom interaction） ● 簡單介紹AI的基本概念（Briefly introduce the basic concept of AI） ● 深入探討AI的原理與應用（Explore the principles and applications of AI in depth）
Note	All quizzes, exams and homework will be made online using Microsoft Teams. For final project, students will need to submit a YouTube video. Any announcements will be posted in Microsoft Teams.
