Labs and facilities
The Digital Accounting Lab (DALab) aims to advance research and innovative teaching methods in accounting. Its main emphasis is on the use of technology to support accounting research and teaching. The DALab has developed a series of projects focused on both accounting research and the applications of technology in learning and teaching.
There are three high-performance workstations with GPUs that provide computing power for machine learning models and natural language processing (NLP) models. DALab will offer computing support for researchers with GPU computing requests for their machine learning, deep learning, or NLP models.
The Case Lab aims to enhance business education by facilitating the development of high-quality teaching case studies in the age of artificial intelligence.
