On September 11, a week-long 2023 Shenzhen Technology University International Teaching Week officially started. A total of 47 second-year students (IoT, Big Data and Computer Science major students) from the School of Internet and Big Data attended the FinTech 101 course by Dr. Jack WOO, Associate Professor of the School of Business. The course lasts a total of 14 hours and covers FinTech applications, machine learning, AI model construction, training and validation.
In the class, Associate Professor Dr. Jack WOO introduced the development and industry application of financial technology in a vivid and easy-to-understand manner, in particular the principles of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and natural language processing and financial industry cases, through detailed interpretation of cases and programming codes, so that students can integrate financial principles and artificial intelligence models, and truly understand the importance of interdisciplinary and industry cognition. In addition, Dr. Jack WOO, Associate Professor, also introduced the use cases and artificial intelligence solutions of Chinese financial companies in detail, and also invited two leaders of Shenzhen Fintech Association to introduce the Fintech Composite Talent Framework, Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Fintech Professional Program, Fintech Summer Camp, etc., and discussed the career development and skill requirements of FinTech talents with the students.
