The School of Management at National Central University recognizes the importance of AI and is proactively equipping students with knowledge in the AI industry. This year, they invited Action Bagel’s educational team to give a lecture on “Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning” to students in the Department of Business Administration and the Graduate Institute of Industrial Management, sharing insights on AI industry trends and concepts and applications of automated machine learning. Dean Hsu Ping-yu and Vice Dean Cheng Bao-zhi hope that through AI industry-academia collaboration, students will develop AI data analysis skills and accelerate the cultivation of data science talent within the College. Therefore, the college has expanded its cooperation with Action Bagel starting this academic year.

In this collaboration, Action Bagel will provide the School of Management with access to the “DecanterAI Data Modeling and Prediction Platform,” helping students overcome programming barriers. Undergraduate, graduate, and part-time students will be able to use the no-code data analysis platform for classroom learning, academic research, and data competitions. The collaboration aims to utilize the low-entry barrier and high-speed Decanter AI platform to help students quickly enter the AI field and accelerate data talent development at National Central University.

Dean Hsu Ping-yu of the School of Management expressed gratitude to Action Bagel for providing DecanterAI software licenses for faculty and students, believing it will significantly benefit teaching and data analysis. The college hopes future collaborations with Action Bagel will continually enhance students' abilities in AI, data science, and data interpretation.

She Yu-ning, Chief Investment Officer at Action Bagel, emphasized that future collaboration with National Central University will focus on three main areas: AI courses, talent cultivation, and data competitions. Specifically, an AI data science credit program will be established, and faculty and students will use Decanter AI for academic research. Talent development will concentrate on nurturing a Decanter AI big data student team and promoting an AI deep education program using the platform. Additionally, data competitions will be organized to allow students to solve business problems with data. This collaboration will effectively integrate Action Bagel's industry experience and AI technology with the academic resources of National Central University, aiming to deepen AI-related courses and accelerate AI talent cultivation.

The collaboration will be actively promoted by the Industry-Academia Deepening Center at the School of Management. Both parties anticipate achieving a strong industry-academia connection, enhancing students' professional skills, and contributing to future industry development.
