The 16-week 'Advanced Machine Learning' course, delivered by Tang Jie, a professor from the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University and the founder of Zhipu AI, garnered significant attention on its inaugural day. The course, designed to accommodate 112 students, was completely filled up at the start. Its structure deviates from conventional formats, with assignments encompassing the entire process of large-scale model development, ensuring a high learning intensity. Tang Jie's teaching approach is meticulous, and he has attained notable achievements in both academic and industrial realms. He posited that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) will emerge as the central objectives of the AI industry, and that the competition in conversational applications is drawing to a close. Over the next three years, the emphasis will shift towards the model's autonomous evolution capabilities. He forecasts that by 2026, agents will be capable of cross-task transfer. His course seamlessly blends cutting-edge research with industry insights. Notably, the technical approach of Zhipu AI's GLM series of large models aligns closely with the development trajectory highlighted in the course, creating a closed-loop verification system between technological advancements and course design.
