近半个月,美国华盛顿大学的学生Dustin Harris每天早晨4点钟就要起床,睡眼惺松的他是为了参加在中国北京122cc太阳集成游戏举办的网上暑校,他说:“清华计算机专业的科研成就是吸引他来上课的主要原因,而众多中国IT公司的云介绍及汉语课程也是极具吸引力的。”
122cc太阳集成游戏连续举办了四年暑期学校,本次突如其来的疫情让线下暑校只能搁浅。在国际项目领导小组组长周立柱教授的建议下,决定举办网上暑校。最终来自于英美俄法等20个国家的62名中外学生参加了此次以深度学习为主题的为期半个月的网上暑期学校,学生中有来自于哈佛,华盛顿大学,法国顶尖的工程师学院,莫斯科国立等国际知名高校学生。
精心筹划 内容丰富
为了让同学们可以全球同时上课,项目组精心安排了上课时间,课程讲授从晚上7点半开始,安排了两次助教辅导,分别在下午与晚上。同时项目组邀请了中国顶尖的IT公司来做线上介绍与云参观。每天还安排了一节汉语课,给学生们打下汉语基础。项目组对清华艺术博物馆进行了现场直播介绍,让学生感受中国传统文化。
名师荟萃 科技前沿
荣获戈登拜尔提名奖的陈文光教授,MIT TR35中国区先锋者得主朱军教授,国家杰出青年基金获得者唐杰教授等9位老师集中讲授了人工智能的基础理论以及在图像处理、机器人、社交网络、自然语言处理方面的应用前沿技术。授课后又安排了相关的大作业,由助教在两个不同的时间段进行长达四个小时的讲解与辅导。
IT名企 云端介绍
项目组邀请了中国8个IT进名企行云端介绍。网上畅游在华为与联想宽敞大气展厅里,感受着两个公司近三十年发展历史,让国外学生感慨不已。抖音海外版TIKTOK在海处如此普及让参加暑校的中国学生没有想到,在欧洲诸多媒体、足球俱乐部都有其帐户,访问量亦相当高。滴滴出行在南美,亚洲及澳洲亦做得相当成功,拥有大量用户。当得知阿里与美团则让诸多社会底层的人获得了工作机会,从而改变了他们的生活,国外学生表示了赞叹。当得知项目组在使用的微信是腾讯公司的产品时,学生们则盛赞界面交互方便,功能强大。这些IT名企紧跟行业发展的最新技术,把大数据、云计算及人工智能等最新的技术直接应用到其最新的产品中。
云端开课 天涯若比邻
网上暑校是项目组的首次尝试的线上项目,也得到了学生们的肯定。
I was very much aware of how good the Computer Science program of Tsinghua University was. And also, one of my friend from my college was accepted to this program so I applied in the middle of pandemic hoping that it will be online. I found the lectures really good and professors covered very good amount of topic with this much amount of time. Labs were really made well with every lectures and the big companies introduction will definitely help us while applying for an internship.

I found the overall very experience of the summer school to be quite satisfactory despite the current world situation. I applied to this summer school because my university recommended it to us and I wanted to deepen my knowledge in deep learning. I think that thanks to the courses I managed to strengthen my knowledge in deep learning, and I got more familiar with the current challenges of this field, and from the company introductions I got to see where these maybe abstract concepts where being implemented to create really interesting technology.
