BBA(IBGM) student Gauri Mahendru wins the championship in International Business Agility Labs: Accounting

25 Nov 2020

Gauri Mahendru, a year 3 BBA(IBGM) student wins the championship (team award) in the “International Business Agility Labs: Accounting”, a virtual global case competition organised by the Center for Global Business of the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland during November 6 – 13, 2020. She and her team members from other universities worked together to solve a real-world business problem for a Singaporean company.

The multicultural team embraced the differences in others because of the diverse skills and perspective that each team member can bring to the table. “By working with people from different parts of the world, I witnessed the advantages of diversity of thought firsthand. I also learnt to effectively communicate and collaborate with people from different backgrounds. I am extremely grateful to HKU Business School for offering me this exciting opportunity and look forward to more of such experiences in the future,” says Gauri.

The champion team consisted of five members — Gauri Mahendru (HKU), Hiu Lam Liu (HKUST), Allison Lu (UMD), Dajah Chambers (Bowie State), and Brianna Hooks (Bowie State).

HKU Business School Releases a Comprehensive Evaluation Report on the Image-Generation Capabilities of AI Models
HKU Business School released a Comprehensive Evaluation Report on the Image Generation Capabilities of Artificial Intelligence Models, providing a systematic assessment of 15 text-to-image models and 7 multimodal large language models (LLMs). The results showed that ByteDance’s Dreamina and Doubao, as well as Baidu’s ERNIE Bot ranked among the top performers in terms of image content quality for new-image generation and image revision. However, despite DeepSeek having attracted global attention, its newly released text-to-image model, Janus-Pro, did not perform as well in new-image generation. HKU Business School researchers also found that while some text-to-image models excelled in content quality, their performance in safety and responsibility was significantly lacking. In general, multimodal LLMs demonstrated better overall performance compared to text-to-image models.

AI Image Generation Evaluation Results Released: ByteDance and Baidu Perform Well, DeepSeek Janus-Pro Falls Short
The frontier of AI models has evolved beyond text processing to encompass the ability to understand and generate visual content. These models not only comprehend images but also generate visual content based on textual prompts. This study presents a systematic evaluation of the image generation capabilities of AI models, focusing on two core tasks: generating new images and revising existing images. Using carefully curated multidimensional test sets, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 22 AI models with image generation capabilities, including 15 text-to-image models and 7 multimodal large language models. The results show that ByteDance’s Dreamina and Doubao, as well as Baidu’s ERNIE Bot, demonstrate impressive performance in both new image generation and image revision tasks. Overall, multimodal large language models deliver superior performance compared to text-to-image models.
