离散优化算法篇 Solving Algorithms for Discrete Optimization
优化是决策的一般形式，在我们的社会中很常见。它的应用包括从求解数独谜题到婚礼上的座次安排。同样的技术可以调度航班和机组成员，协调钢铁生产，组织铁矿从矿井到港口的运输。人力资源和材料管理上好的决策可以令企业提升上百万的盈利。同样的问题很多也在我们日常生活出现，成为决定每天送货路线，决定学校时间表，传输电力到家里等种种问题的一部分。除了它们的重要性，这些问题如果用传统的本科计算机科学方法难以求解。 这门课程为已经完成离散优化高阶篇的同学设计。 请看这门课程的宣传视频：http://www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk/cutv/detail/988

Managing Project Uncertainty
e.g. This is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in engineering or science, along with high school students and professionals with an interest in programming.Managing projects is rarely about perfect plans—it’s about staying effective when requirements are fuzzy, dependencies shift, and surprises show up mid-delivery. Managing Project Uncertainty gives you a practical system for turning ambiguity into clear action. You’ll learn how to spot risk early, write risks in a cause → event → impact format, and score them using a simple likelihood × impact approach. From there, you’ll build a working risk register with owners, mitigations, and triggers—then run lightweight weekly risk reviews and track risk burndown so exposure decreases over time. When decisions must be made with incomplete information, you’ll use decision frames, timeboxes, and an upgraded decision log that captures assumptions and what to monitor. The course also equips you with fast root-cause tools (A3 thinking, 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, and a lightweight FMEA) to prevent repeat failures. Finally, you’ll learn incident and post-mortem playbooks, empathy interviewing to surface hidden risks, and de-escalation scripts for difficult conversations under pressure. By the end, you’ll be able to lead calmer, clearer project execution—even when the path isn’t fully visible.

Classify Images of Cats and Dogs using Transfer Learning
This is a self-paced lab that takes place in the Google Cloud console. TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries and community resources that lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML powered applications. This lab uses transfer learning to train your machine. In transfer learning, when you build a new model to classify your original dataset, you reuse the feature extraction part and re-train the classification part with your dataset. This method uses less computational resources and training time. Deep learning from scratch can take days, but transfer learning can be done in short order.

Digital Thread: Components
This course will help you recognize how the "digital thread" is the backbone of the digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) transformation, turning manufacturing processes from paper-based to digital-based. You will have a working understanding of the digital thread – the stream that starts at product concept and continues to accumulate information and data throughout the product’s life cycle – and identify opportunities to leverage it. Gain an understanding of how "the right information, in the right place, at the right time" should flow. This is one of the keys to unlocking the potential of a digital design process. Acknowledging this will enable you to be more involved in a product’s development cycle, and to help a company become more flexible. Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures, readings, discussions and various videos. This is the second course in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology specialization that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth Revolution,” aka Industry 4.0, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established DMD-related professional goal. To learn more about the Digital Manufacturing and Design Technology specialization, please watch the overview video by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: https://youtu.be/wETK1O9c-CA
