A New Intelligent Paradigm for Evidence-Based Social Work: An ACE Framework-Based Client State Transition Network and Intervention Effectiveness Analysis Engine” Dear all,You are cordially invited to the seminar titled “A New Intelligent Paradigm for Evidence-Based Social Work: An ACE Framework-Based Client State Transition Network and Intervention Effectiveness Analysis Engine” hosted by Prof. Yucheng Liang from Sun Yat-sen University.Here are the details:Date : 13 August 2026 (Thu)Time : 11-12:30pmVenue : Room 533, 5/F, The Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus, HKUFormat : HybridLanguage: Putonghua (supplemented by Chinese-English slides)Abstract:Social work has a longstanding challenge- the difficulty of transforming individual case experiences into systematic knowledge. Traditional approaches rely heavily on the personal intuition and experience of social workers.In this seminar, Prof. Liang will introduce the project that addresses the current gap in the application of Artificial Intelligence for Science (AI4S) to social work knowledge production. This project deeply integrates Agentic Context Engineering (ACE) with complex network analysis to develop an innovative intelligent analytical system: the Social Work Client State Transition Network.社会工作长期面临"个案经验难以转化为系统知识"的科研痛点。传统方法依赖社工个人直觉，面对案主在生活、就业、心理健康等多维交织的复杂困境，缺乏工具系统性探索从危机到稳定的多维转变路径，导致知识碎片化、隐性化且难以跨场景迁移。本项目针对人工智能赋能科学研究（AI4S）在社会工作知识生产中的空白，将智能体上下文工程（Agentic Context Engineering；ACE）与复杂网络分析深度融合，首创"社工案主状态转变网络"智能分析系统。通过将案主多维生活工作身心状态编码为离散状态向量，依托大模型，使用“生成器—反思器—策展器”三角色循环提炼干预规则，并以多次ACE迭代与反事实扰动探索其可能性空间，最终构建可解释、可量化、可迭代的社工案主状态概率转变网络，为循证社会工作提供智能基础设施与干预效果分析引擎，为社会工作在智能时代的知识生产提供新范式。About the speaker:Prof. Yucheng Liang, is Professor of Sociology and Doctoral Supervisor at Sun Yat-sen University, where he serves as Vice Dean of the School of National Governance and Head of the Department of Sociology and Social Work. His research focuses on social stratification and inequality, computational sociology, social transformation in China, and quantitative research methods, with particular interests in digital platform governance and health inequalities.Don’t miss this insightful workshop! Please contact me for any enquiries. Thank you.SamDepartment of Social Work and Social Administration, HKU3917-2097 Date/Time: 13/08/2026 11:00-12:30 Venue: Hybrid (Room 533, 5/F, The Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus, HKU) Organized by: Department of Social Work & Social Administration
