<p>Modern Chinese Literature &nbsp;has been formally born since its inception in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period, through the advocacy of the New Culture Movement, and has produced a large number of masterpieces of great aesthetic connotation that have had a profound impact on future generations. The course begins with a lecture on how Chinese literature has changed from classical to modern times (Lecture 1), on the basis of which the next 13 lectures select important works of modern Chinese literature for close reading and aesthetic appreciation of the texts.

The course provides a comprehensive overview of the financial system, including major financial markets, institutions and instruments. Students will learn the fundamentals of the global money, capital and foreign exchange markets, the determinants of financial prices and yields and the basic quantitative tools and perspectives used to evaluate financial prices and risks.

<p>Molecular Biology and Epigenetics 3 course (MBE3) will provide a comprehensive coverage of genetic and epigenetics processes that regulate human gene expression, with a focus on human molecular biology and disorders. This course will focus on delivering material to develop advanced knowledge of molecular biology and epigenetic subject matter required for honours electives in Year 4. At the end of this course you will: ? Be able to explain genetic and epigenetic processes that regulate human gene expression. ?

Characteristics of speech and image signals; important analysis and synthesis tools for multimedia signal processing including subspace methods, Bayesian networks, hidden Markov models, and factor graphs; applications to biometrics (person identification), human-computer interaction (face and gesture recognition and synthesis), and audio-visual databases (indexing and retrieval). Emphasis on a set of MATLAB machine problems providing hands-on experience. 4 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ECE 310 and ECE 313.

Provides non-music majors with basic listening skills, the ability to discuss music intelligently, and an acquaintance with many types of music. Prerequisite: For non-music majors only.

This course focuses on China’s popular music and contemporary art culture contextualized in post-Mao, neoliberal China. There are several advantages in exploring China’s contemporary socio-cultural-political milieus from music and art.

Studies the major myths of Greece and Rome and their impact upon later art, music, and literature. Shares two hours of lecture with CLCV 111; additional hour of lecture-discussion for a closer analysis of topics. Credit is not given for both CLCV 115 and CLCV 111. In the Fall and Spring semesters, students must register for one discussion and one lecture section.

This course includes two parts, addressing the theoretical and practical contents respectively. The theoretical part compares films and video games that are adapted on the basis of the same stories to identify narrative similarities and differences between them and to discover the characteristics of narration in video game. In addition, genres of video games played on various platforms will be studied. The practical part focuses on the development of students' creativity in playwriting.

The topic of focus this semester will be on text generation and recent developments in pretraining. We will study recent advances in text generation with neural networks and the potential of machine learning methods to develop a clear and accurate natural text. The course will concentrate on developing applied mastery of the central models and algorithms of machine learning, such as multinomial models, multi-class logistic regression, and, particularly this year, a focus on deep learning/neural network models such as convolutional networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN).
