This volume gives language teachers, software designers, and researchers who wish to use technology in second or foreign language education the information they need to absorb what has been achieved so far and to make sense of it. It is designed to enable the kind of critical reading of a substantial literature that leads to a balanced and detailed knowledge of the field. Chapter by chapter, the book builds, through description, analysis, examples, and discussion, a detailed picture of modern CALL.In this book, the label “CALL” is interpreted broadly to include technology-enhanced language learning, Web-enhanced language learning, and information and communication technologies for language learning. The work is distinguished by its attention to a range of languages rather than just English.The authors first set the scene and introduce major areas of interest and growth in CALL, and then look in depth at seven important dimensions: design, evaluation, computer-mediated communication, th

In the years that followed, the two met regularly in California to discuss management education in China, economic realities, and organizational culture—forging a deep friendship that transcended both culture and age.This book records that precious journey. It illustrates not only how Drucker translated ideas into practice, but also portrays his sincerity, warmth, and humanity. He held a deep hope for the future of management in China, remained steadfast i

The riveting investigative account of Nvidia, the tech company that has exploded in value for its artificial intelligence computing hardware, and Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s charismatic, uncompromising CEO In March 2024, following the revelation that ChatGPT had trained on Nvidia’s microchips, and twenty-one years after its founding in a Denny’s restaurant, Nvidia became the third most-valuable corporation on Earth. In The Thinking Machine, acclaimed journalist Stephen Witt recounts the unlikely story of how a manufacturer of video game components shocked Silicon Valley by establishing a monopoly on AI hardware, and in the process re-invented the computer. Essential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its ic

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group. Participants, including myself, posed questions, suggested sessions, and explored shared concerns and interests. The following were some of the questions raised:• Why do so many people, who agree with the principles of feminism, hesitate to identify themselves as feminists?• What does feminism signify in 2024?• How should we define it?• Can individuals of genders other than women be feminists?• Is feminism still relevant, or is it considered passé?• Does the concept of feminism require rebranding?• Should we discuss feminism in the singular or feminismS in the plural?• Are we now closer to achieving the central feminist vision of an equitable

For over 20 years, Basil Pao followed Michael Palin (and his BBC crew) around the world. He documented their journeys from the North to South Pole and around the Pacific Rim. They retraced the footsteps of Hemingway, traversed deep into the Sahara, and trekked up and down across the Himalayas. They crisscrossed post-Iron Curtain Eastern Europe and surveyed Brazil from the Amazon to Iguazu Falls. Their collaborations resulted in 11 bestselling illustrated books. In between the Palin journeys, Pao travelled extensively for a variety of clients that took him to remote and exotic locations across the globe, including an epic journey through every province across the length and breadth of China to create the classic China Revealed.OM2—Ordinary Moments+ is the distilled essence of all the miles travelled and the tens of thousands of pictures captured. This anthology of 140 photographs illuminates the purity of Pao’s vision and contains some of the maestro’s personal favourite repor

內容介紹：在 ChatGPT 帶起生成式 AI 百家齊放的新世紀, 整合語言模型已勢不可擋。隨著 OpenAI 釋出更厲害的新模型與整合度更高的 API, 善用語言模型理解文意與能言善道的超強特性, 邁入『自然語言就是程式語言』的願景已經不再是夢想。終端用戶將使用自然語言操控應用程式, 由語言模型自主理解規劃邏輯流程, 我們的程式則是語言模型背後的軍火庫, 串接外部各式各樣的功能。| 用真實上線的 GPTs 學 action 開發 |即使 GPTs 已經提供搜尋網路、上傳檔案的功能, 仍然無法隨意取用外部功能, 因此 GPTs 最關鍵的環節就是 action 外掛系統, 讓語言模型與外界接軌。本書會帶大家用真實上線的台鐵時刻表查詢專家當範例, 手把手教你設計 GPTs action, 補強客製 GPTs 欠缺的功能。| 串接 Google OAuth2 API 管控 action 使用者 |客製的 GPTs 要能針對不同使用者提供客製服務才是真客製, 本書會說明如何串接 Google OAuth2 API, 幫 GPTs action 加上登入 Google 帳號機制, 以便後端程式可以根據登入的使用者提供不同的服務, 設計出真正客製的 ChatGPT。| Chat/Assistants API 全解析 |Assistants API 是 OpenAI API 家族的大禮, 以往我們必須自己處理的對話記錄、網路搜尋、向量資料庫、程式執行工具、文字生圖等等功能, 現在全部整合在 Assistants API 中, 成為實作 AI 助理的基石。本書會帶大家深度瞭解 Chat API 與 Assistants API 的差異, 讓你針對問題挑選適當的 API。| 深入 function calling 機制 |即使是最新的 gpt-4 模型, 訓練資料也僅止於 2023 年 4 月, 模型本身也不能連網取得新知, 更無法介接外部 API。透過 function calling 機制, 就可以撰寫各式各樣的函式作為延伸語言模型能力的外掛, 任由模型取用。新版模型更強化功能, 提供 parallel function calling, 即使複雜問題也能自動分解由多個函式完成。| 整合 gpt-4-vision 模型 |gpt-4-vision 讓模型長眼睛, 本書就利用這項功
