本文討論台灣某半導體公司(以下簡稱F公司)如何應用人工智慧技術建構自動判斷會計科目正確性的機器學習模型。本研究衍生自F公司財務處與某國立大學會計學系(以下簡稱A系)合作的「暑期人工智慧實習專案」,該專案期間為2019年7月1日到2019年8月31日。本文有兩個貢獻:(1)探討在人工智慧時代,會計教育界與產業界如何合作發展數據分析(data analytics)與產業實作課程(capstone course),以協助會計教育的數位轉型。(2)本文討論企業如何以機器學習技術,有效地降低成本並提升其會計作業行政流程效率。本研究期望能夠以此協助更多臺灣企業,更廣泛的運用機器學習技術來優化企業流程。
This study discusses how a Taiwan semiconductor company (F company hereafter) applies artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to build machine learning models for automatic account classification judgements. The study builds on a 2019 summer internship project collaborated by the finance department of F company and the department of accounting of a national university in Taiwan. The study contributes to the accounting literature in two ways. (1) The study provides implications for accounting educators on how to collaborate with industry practitioners in terms of conducting AI problem-solving projects in building data-driven capstone courses. Thus, the study helps expedite the digital transformation of accounting education. (2) Additionally, the study shows how a large company builds machine learning models to save personnel costs and enhance operational efficiency in its accounting procedures. The study aims to motivate Taiwanese companies to explore opportunities of optimizing their operational efficiency through AI techniques.
