From October 24th to November 25th, the Social Science Department and the School of Media Science (School of Journalism) jointly held the “Workshop on Computational Communication”. The workshop was funded by the high-level exchange fund project of NENU. Within one month, Associate Professor Wang Chengjun of Nanjing University, Professor Liu Hailong of Renmin University of China, Professor Shen Hao of Communication University of China, Professor Jonathan Zhu of City University of Hong Kong, Professor Tang Jingtai of Fudan University and Professor Wang Xiling of Communication University of China were invited to give a series of lectures to teachers and students of NENU on the theories, methods and technologies related to computational communication from multi-perspective and multi-dimensional vision. More than 800 teachers and students from inside and outside of the campus actively participated online.
The workshop covers the hot directions and frontier areas of computational communication, such as computational narrative, virtual reality, data news, complex network, data visualization, online experiment, computational advertising, computational publicity, big data computing, data ethics, etc., which aims to help teachers and students in our school grasp the research situation of computational communication, understand the practical approach of computational communication, and help to cultivate and innovate compound media talents in our school against the background of new liberal arts, and create collaborative research results. The six lectures were lively and colorful, which triggered a warm response from teachers and students, and all the teachers and students who participated in the lectures said that they benefited a lot.
