Research Area: Global supply chain and risk management, supply chain and benefit management, application of auction theory in supply chain, production scheduling management

Title of Keynote Speech: 

Financial hedging policy for risk-averse supply chain problem

Abstract:

We character financial hedging policies for some supply chain problems with several commonly used risk measures. For the mean-variance criterion, we first introduce an integrated optimal hedging and ordering policy for the news-vendor problem. Then, present similar results to the inventory problem with multiple stages. For the Value-at-Risk constraint, we character the integrated optimal hedging and ordering policies for a two-stage news-vendor framework and an inventory distribution system, respectively. Moreover, we consider how to handle the issues of time consistence and coherence associated with the above scenarios. Finally, we discuss the challenges for counterpart problems under general utility function and conditional Value-at-Risk problems.

Title of Keynote Speech:

Inspiring Learning Innovations Through Artificial intelligence (AI) Assisted Learning & Extended Reality (XR) Immersion

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of our lives, including the way we work and educate our students. Taylor's University (Malaysia), even before the public emergence of ChatGPT in early 2023, adopted artificial intelligence (AI) in its courses to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Through the integration of Virtual Teaching Assistance, Walter AI-based chatbot into 25 foundational and content-heavy modules, instructors and students provided valuable feedback. The chatbot demonstrated a positive impact on student engagement and learning outcomes by providing accessible and enjoyable learning opportunities. Students benefited from the chatbot's 24/7 availability and its ability to automatically generate quiz questions, which significantly saved lecturers' time. Furthermore, Walter proved to be a valuable tool for instructors of large classes, enabling them to offer personalized tutoring to students who might not have received direct face-to-face engagement otherwise. Overall, Taylor's University's adoption of artificial intelligence, exemplified by the implementation of the Walter chatbot, has showcased the potential of AI in education, offering new avenues for learning and improving the overall educational experience.
