Calligraphy is the representative of Chinese art. To understand Chinese art, calligraphy is a convenient way to enter. The purpose of offering calligraphy aesthetics and practice, a general elective course across colleges and departments, is to enable students who are not majoring in calligraphy to have a preliminary perception of the aesthetics of Chinese calligraphy, a general cognition of the history of Chinese calligraphy, and a basic experience of the basic techniques of Chinese calligraphy. Therefore, this course is integrated with aesthetics, history and practice. In this course, students not only listen to the history and theory of calligraphy taught by teachers and famous teachers, but also practice calligraphy in person under the inspiration of the teachers' unique teaching methods: seal script, official script, regular script, running script, cursive script, meaning and ancient meeting, elegant in hand. Students will be improved aesthetically, cultivated in their humanistic and artistic temperament, improved in the practice of writing, and finally have a new understanding of Chinese calligraphy and Chinese artistic spirit.

Natural language Processing (NLP) is one of the most important technologies in Artificial Intelligence. NLP aims at enabling computers to understand human languages and communicate with humans. There are a large variety of tasks and machine learning methods in NLP. The course provides a thorough introduction to NLP, from its history to recent advances in deep learning applied to NLP. On the task side, we will cover sequence tagging, parsing, classification and clustering, and some applications such as machine translation. On the model side, we will cover statistical models and neural networks. By learning from lectures and programming assignments, students will master necessary knowledge about NLP and engineering tricks for practical NLP problem. 

Developmental psychology is the scientific study of systematic psychological changes, emotional changes, and perception changes that occur in human beings over the course of their life span.

From the Internet to the WWW, from wireless communication networks, large power networks to global transportation networks, from the brain in organisms, various metabolic networks to various economic, political, and social relationship networks, people's socioeconomic activities and daily life all take place in a world full of complex networks. Complex network theory studies the commonalities between various complex networks that appear to be different from each other and the universal methods for dealing with them. Since the end of the 20th century, complex network research has permeated many different fields from mathematics and physics to life sciences and information engineering. The scientific understanding of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of complex networks has become an extremely important challenge in scientific research in the network era. This course will be taught in English, and strives to introduce the basic concepts, basic theories, basic algorithms and practical applications of network science represented by complex network theory in a way that science and engineering undergraduates can understand, including some of the lecturer's own research. The main purpose is to enable students to understand the basic system of complex network systems through the study of this course, master the basic concepts of complex network theory, and cultivate students' interest in network science.

Search engine is one of the most important information access tools for network users, search engine design and implementation process, the integrated use of today's Internet applications in the field of the highest level of research results. Students through the study of this course, not only can master and Internet applications closely related to the network information retrieval, network data mining and other aspects of knowledge, but also help to cultivate its comprehensive use of knowledge to solve problems. The teaching objectives of this course include: to understand the basic principles of search engines, product design ideas and commercial operation mode; to master the characteristics of the Internet data environment and its impact on the design and implementation process of the search engine; to learn and master the system design of large-scale commercial search engines and their core algorithms. The course combines classroom lectures with hands-on practice, so that students have a considerable theoretical foundation of search engine and practical ability. This will enable students to acquire knowledge with both theoretical depth and practical integration with the latest search engine applications.
