HKU Business School Launches Inaugural Overseas Alumni Network in the Middle East

HKU Business School is thrilled to announce the establishment of our 2nd international alumni network, in the Middle East.

Alongside current full-time MBA students and local business leaders, our Inaugural Executive Committee and other fellow alumni celebrated this momentous occasion together at The Palace Downtown Dubai.

Led by EMBA Global Asia alumnus, Hani Tohme, who will serve as the Inaugural President, this Middle East Alumni Network will serve as a strong signal of our business school’s growing and strategic presence in this dynamic region.

The Inaugural Executive Committee proudly also includes our successful and devoted alumni, Milind Taneja, Betty Tsai, Govind Gautam, Anupam Sehgal, Peter Brady, Stephen Wu and Maksim Nelepa.

Special thanks to Mr. Leo Poon, Deputy Director at the HKETO, for officiating the kick-off ceremony.

With a current alumni base of approximately 50 in the region, which is constantly and consistently rising, it is our pleasure to create this new platform for our community to connect, engage, and collaborate with each other in the United Arab Emirates for years to come.

中文语境下的人工智能大模型图像理解能力综合评测报告
在科技迅猛发展的当下,人工智能技术不断取得突破性进展,OpenAI的GPT-4o、谷歌的Gemini 2.0这类多模态模型以及通义千问-VL、混元-Vision等视觉语言模型迅速崛起。这些新一代模型在图像理解方面展现出强大的能力,不仅具备出色的泛化性,而且还具有广泛的应用潜力。然而,现阶段对这些模型视觉能力的评估与认知仍存在不足。为此,我们提出了一套全面且系统的图像理解综合评测框架,该框架涵盖视觉感知与识别视觉推理与分析视觉审美与创意三大核心能力维度,同时还将安全与责任维度纳入其中。通过设计针对性测试集,我们对20个国内外知名模型进行了全面评估,旨在为多模态模型的研究与实际应用提供可靠参考依据。

Kudos to Prof. Gedeon Lim for His Insightful Research on Inter-Ethnic Relations!
We’re happy to share that the article Prof. Gedeon Lim contributed to, titled "How does interacting with other ethnicities shape political attitudes?" has been published on VoxDev! In this research, it examines how living near resettlement sites for ethnic minorities in Malaysia can shift political preferences. His findings reveal that closer proximity not only improves economic outcomes but also fosters casual interactions in shared public spaces. VoxDev serves as a vital platform for economists, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss key development issues, making expert insights accessible to a wide audience. Join us in exploring Prof. Lim’s contributions to understanding how inter-ethnic contact can drive positive social change! Read more here: https://bit.ly/3Cu2938
