Building Generative AI Services with FastAPI

科技對華文教學的衝擊與挑戰專輯前言符傳豐、張麗妹自二○二二年十一月三十日ChatGPT的問世，人工智能（Artificial Intelligence, AI）技術的發展進入了一個嶄新的階段。人工智能技術的迅猛發展正以前所未有的方式改變著我們的生活和學習方式。在華文作為第二語言的教與學中，人工智能技術帶來的轉變主要體現在以下幾個方面：首先，學生知識的來源越來越多元，教師不再是唯一的權威，傳統的課堂環境也不再是唯一的選擇。人工智能技術使學習者人機互動成為常態，傳統的傳道授業的模式受到挑戰。其次，人工智能提供了個性化的學習體驗。在傳統的課堂上，老師往往難以兼顧每個學生的學習進度和需求。人工智能系統通過對大數據的分析，能夠找到學習者的「最近發展區」（Vygotsky, 1967），並針對性地提供練習和輔導，達到最優的學習效果。再次，教師可以利用人工智能技術帶來的豐富的教學資源和多樣的學習渠道，鼓勵學生帶著問題主動學習，實現翻轉課堂（Flipped Classroom）「先學後教」的效果，這不僅提高了學生的學習效率，也讓他們成為自己學習的主人，找到學習的內驅力。這對於缺乏學習動機的以華文作為二語的學生尤為重要。此外，教師可以借助人工智能技術及時獲取學生學習成果信息，不斷調整和優化教學流程和內容，根據學習者實時學習情況調整教學方式，為學生提供及時反饋，隨時解決學生提出的問題，實時答疑解惑，幫助學生及時改正錯誤。本刊共輯六篇文章，六位老師從不同視角探討了面對科技對華文教學帶來的衝擊和挑戰，教師如何教，學生如何學。蘇啟禎老師從人類科技發明的作用談起，指出華文教師應該善用電子科技，充分發揮新科技的優點，提高華文教學的效果；周恩國老師探討了如何設計人工智能教學助手，幫助華文教師提升華文教學設計；焦福珍老師結合新加坡學生學習平臺有關個性化學習的新功能，探討了實施個性化學習的過程中人工智能賦能的路徑和策略；李冬梅老師從生成式人工智能的能供性出發，探討了生成式人工智能背景下促進學習評價的教學模式，以期對教師的教和學生的學提供新的探索方向；王學萍老師聚焦目前新加坡中學華文教師的教學實踐，探討了如何安全、有效地與人工智能技術協同合作，打造更加智能化、個性化的以華文作為二語的教學環境；韓軼婷老師探討面對新科技浪潮的衝擊，AI 如何重塑華文教學，嘗試引領讀者探尋新科技時代華文教學的未來方向。本專輯

數位匯流時代來臨，OTT串流平台百家齊放。跨媒介敘事者如何運用不同多模組資源「轉譯」文本，並活用人工智慧軟體輔助創作，均成媒介素養教育的重要課題。如Disney童話、《哈利波特》系列、經典文學《福爾摩斯》、武俠文學「射鵰三部曲」等，皆有跨媒介轉述版本。跨媒介敘事表達方式涵蓋電影、遊戲、餐點料理、影視旅行，展現授權經濟的蓬勃生機。近年更有「人工智慧生成內容」（AIGC）、「人工智慧生成藝術」（AIGA）等加入，軟體科技協助敘事者處理細節以專注靈感發想。「人工智慧生成內容」為跨媒介敘事領域之生力軍，引發閱聽人關切生成式演算互動藝術議題，也引動「AI挑戰藝術定位」思辨。本書說明跨媒介敘事研究圖譜，討論面向涵蓋「口傳文學／民間故事」、「文學巨擘的經典轉譯」、「授權經濟與故事資產」、「閱聽人參與文化」，再以「人工智慧輔助跨媒介產業趨勢」作結。

作者拍照超過三十年，使用過各式相機，實證過從暗房沖印到數位甚至AI創作的歷程。作品無數，本書僅收錄95張黑白作品與70張彩色作品。 這165張照片雖以東京為主要拍攝地，但讀者並無法在書中找到明確的東京地標或象徵物。作者的選擇或許說明了，身為一個住在日本超過三十年的蒙古人，他在透過鏡頭觀察東京的同時，也在思索自己與這座城市的關係。作品的內在邏輯徘徊、游移、跳躍於都心與市郊之間，但無論場景位於何處，作者的拍攝焦點都在人與人、人與自然、動物與自然、自然與自然之間的關聯。值得一提的是，作品當中所呈現的都市場景，彷彿日日上演不同劇碼的舞台，無論是行色匆匆，或駐足觀看，凡行走其間的人，包括作者在內，每一位都是扮演某種角色的演員，在這個不停流動的舞台上，各自或共同演出饒富趣味的人生戲劇。閱讀本書可隨興，無須按順序，自前自後翻閱，皆能發現讓目光停駐、心有所感的一張照片，或作者時而讓人莞爾、時而讓人鼻酸的一段文字。本書製作講究，美術編排優雅穩重，使用最高等級的油墨與紙張，採取圓背布面精裝，值得喜愛攝影藝術的讀者珍藏。

Surrealism in China initially gained a foothold in Shanghai’s former French concession during the early 1930s, disseminated by returning Chinese students who had directly encountered the movement in Paris and Tokyo. Shanghai surrealism adopted a dialectical form, resonating with the modus operandi of the Parisian movement as well as China’s traditional belief system of Daoism. Reconciling the thought of Freud and Marx, Surrealism subsumed the multiple contradictions that divided Republican Shanghai, East and West, colonial and cosmopolitan, ancient and modern, navigating the porous boundaries that separate dream and reality. Shanghai surrealists were not rigid followers of their Parisian counterparts. Indeed, they commingled Surrealist techniques with elements of traditional Chinese iconography. Rather than revolving around a centralized group with a leader, Shanghai Surrealism was a much more diffuse entity, disseminated across copious different periodicals, avant-garde groups, and th
