ICEB 2020 hosted by HKU Business School brings together top researchers in Electronic Business

14 Dec 2020

The annual conference International Conference on Electronic Business (ICEB) is an excellent opportunity for the scholars to share research ideas and get informed about the latest development in the field of electronic commerce.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the very first International Conference on Electronic Business (ICEB 2020) virtual conference is hosted by HKU Business School this year during December 5-7, 2020. The conference theme this year is “Electronic Business under COVID-19 Pandemic”. We received 71 submissions and 54 papers were accepted into the final programme of 19 sessions. The topic areas of the papers include artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, blockchain, COVID-19 issues, E-collaboration, E-commerce, E-education, E-innovation, E-marketing, E-SCM, E-sustainability, IoT, social commerce, technological issues, and user behaviors.

In this conference, there are 55 registered scholars from 16 countries and regions, including China, Germany, Hong Kong, Houston, Ireland, Lithuania, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE, UK, USA. This year, the Best Paper Award Committee had selected 4 top-quality papers to receive the awards.

The International Conference on Electronic Business is an affiliated conference of Association of Information Systems. It brings together leading Electronic Business scholars in Asia and around the world. The conference is held under the supervision of The International Consortium for Electronic Business (ICEB) editorial board and is the top academic Electronic Business conference in the world. It brings together top researchers in Electronic Business field and related areas within Asia and around the world to present cutting-edge research and exchange intellectual ideas.

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.
