Psychology, Computer Science and Neuroscience have a history of shared questions and inter-related advances. Recently, new technology has enabled those fields to move from “toy” small-scale approaches to the study of language learning from raw sensory input and to do so at a large scale that constitutes daily life. The three primary goals of my research are 1) to quantify the statistical regularities in the real world, 2) to examine the underlying computational mechanisms operated on the statistical data, and 3) to apply the findings from basic science to real-world applications. In this talk, I will present several projects in my research lab to show that the advances in human learning and machine learning fields place us at the tipping point for powerful and consequential new insights into mechanisms of (and algorithms for) learning.

Generative AI challenges Higher Education institutions, educators and their practices to critically re-appraise the nature of what should and could be assessed. Gen AI can support equity and enhance new assessment designs. However, it also challenges us to reconsider what is valued, who is involved and what assessment can reliably reveal. This workshop will discuss the Australian Higher Education response to generative AI and explore the opportunities and challenges in relation to assessment.

宣統年間（1909-1911），袁世凱（1859-1916）在攝政王載灃排擠下歸隱彰德府洹上村，與門生故舊唱和，以示無心世務。這些詩作被袁氏次子袁克文（1890-1931）輯錄於《圭塘唱和詩》中，於宣統二年（1910）刊印，其中袁氏詩作共十三題十五篇。1940年代，長子袁克定（1878-1958）將袁世凱當年親筆謄鈔之詩稿影印出版，額曰《洹村逸興》。比對二書之篇目，《圭塘》諸本有袁氏詩作五篇不見於《洹村逸興》。實際上，該五篇之謄抄稿仍與《洹村逸興》之原件共同收藏於社科院近代史所；克定當日不收入書中，蓋因稿上頗有無名氏批點文字，公之於眾可能影響乃父形象。這些批點文字當係某位幕僚所為，內容為修改建議；然參《圭塘》諸本，可知袁世凱對建議幾乎全未採納。本文著眼於五篇詩稿及其批點文字，以討論原詩與修改建議如何優劣互見，乃至這輯詩歌與當時政局之微妙關係。

晚清時期英雄傳記風行一時，引發英雄崇拜的熱潮。但是此時所謂「傳記」，其實是融合諸多資源形構而成的新文類。《意大利建國三傑傳》作為晚清英雄傳記的代表作，充分展示了這一特徵。梁啟超借鑑明治政治小說的多種書寫模式，又援引本土小說的要素，將意大利建國史轉化為中國未來命運的預言，將意大利建國三傑刻畫為智、仁、勇的化身，將兒女情長俠義精神引入傳記書寫。正是由於梁啟超自出機杼的創造與轉化，此類英雄傳記廣受讀者歡迎，成為晚清文學文化史上的典範作品。

編修地方志為中華民族悠久而獨特的文化傳統，至今已有2000多年歷史。中國方志有始於《山海經》、《尚書‧禹貢》和《周禮》這三種說法。「國有史，地有志」，「方志」和「歷史」在中國史學傳統上，有同源異流的密切關係。是次講座根據歷來中國地方志的原始資料和方志學著述，討論「志」與「史」的異同，並疏理中國舊方志和中國新方志在「存史」及「資政」方面的經驗，並就地方志對歷史研究的當代意義提出建議。
