應用數據科學學系主辦的研討會於4月26日圓滿舉行。


應用數據科學學系於2023年4月26日主辦研討會，介紹由仁大應用數據科學學系系主任袁文貞博士領導研究，有關幼兒繁體中文讀寫障礙（書寫困難部份）檢測系統和訓練遊戲的專案，藉以提升學界與業界參加者有更深入交流及探討相關專案題目的機會。

據了解，現今全球有17%人口有讀寫障礙問題，惟缺乏有關於檢測和評估繁體中文書寫困難的系統。有見及此，袁文貞博士從研究資助局獲得撥款，領導應用數據科學學系的研究團隊，開發了一個適用於早期識別幼兒繁體中文讀寫障礙（書寫困難部份）的移動應用系統。
 


袁文貞博士及其研究團隊。

這個移動應用系統可以收集使用者資料，並將資料發送到雲端的智能系統進行資料分析。該項目得到由仁濟醫院社會服務部提供的資料集，以訓練智能系統中的機器學習模型。該移動應用系統可以在短時間內來檢測幼兒繁體中文讀寫障礙（書寫困難部份）的風險，這樣有助教師和家長以簡單的方式，識別幼兒是否有繁體中文書寫困難的潛在風險，以便盡快將他們轉介給專家進行後續跟進。

活動當日有不同慈善機構、團體和專家出席。袁文貞博士首先介紹她對讀寫障礙的研究、檢測系統開發的過程以及檢測系統的使用方法。隨後袁博士演示了檢測系統的操作，可以準確識別繁體中文書寫困難的潛在風險，並為有書寫困難的高風險兒童設計了幾款電腦應用小型遊戲來訓練繁體中文書寫的書寫能力。最後是問答環節讓來賓透過提問對專案題目有更全面的了解。

隨後，應用數據科學學系的學生帶領各來賓參觀與介紹了學系的實驗室和學習工作坊，並詳細為來賓介紹他們運用所學到的知識和技術，製作出不同的演示項目，展視他們的學習成果。
