Learning the state-of-the-art social collaboration in a fast-paced global business environment

Learning the state-of-the-art social collaboration in a fast-paced global business environment

Twelve HKU Business School students joined the Virtual Business Professional (VBP) Project in March. They were placed in teams of 5-6 people with around 100 students from 16 different universities worldwide to work on a consulting project for companies including Netflix, Starbucks and Google. Throughout the project, students learned many essential remote working skills, intercultural communication skills, different business models and marketing strategies, and how modern virtual collaboration can be powered by artificial intelligence technology. The VPB Project offered by the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California (USC) is a six-week project that offers students an opportunity to collaborate and work in a virtual setting with students from all over the world to develop virtual and cross-cultural collaboration skills using state-of-the-art collaboration tools.

 

Ho Yin Yee Jocelyn, BBA(Law)&LLB, Year 2“I was fascinated to learn about various content, such as different social media strategies, crowdfunding, donor retention, content creation, bolted in reputation etc. Such knowledge would not be covered in the ordinary academic syllabus, yet crucial to internships and job seeking.”

Chu Tsoi Yan Jenny, BBA(IBGM), Year 2“In terms of work processes, virtual collaboration is a whole lot harder than what I’ve expected – It is more than jumping freely into video conferences, utilising popular chat tools and learning how to store files on a shared cloud-based drive. Especially being the only Asian student in the team situated in an opposite time-zone, scheduling a meeting is considered as a big hassle. Even though I had to compromise for 7 am meetings, I have learnt to accommodate the majority’s needs for the team’s overall interest. More importantly, I have developed an adaptive work mode that would be beneficial to my future studies and career.”

Gao Ningling, BEcon&Fin, Year 2“Teammates from different backgrounds have different working styles and we can learn from the difference. For example, one of my teammates has a strong leadership capacity, and he works and aggressively leads us. Feeling inspired to work with him, I think some of his merits can be absorbed by myself.”

港大经管学院最新多模态AI图像生成能力排名出炉 部份中国人工智能模型表现突出
港大经管学院今日发表《人工智能模型图像生成能力综合评测报告》,针对15个“文生图模型”及7个“多模态大语言模型”进行全面评估。研究显示,字节跳动的即梦AI和豆包,以及百度的文心一言,在新图像生成的内容质素及图像修改的表现突出;而早前引起全球关注的DeepSeek最新推出的文生图模型Janus-Pro,则在新图像生成方面表现欠佳。研究亦发现部分文生图模型虽然在内容质素方面表现优异,却在安全与责任方面的表现强差人意。整体而言,与文生图模型相比,多模态大语言模型整体表现较佳。

人工智能图像生成评测成绩单公布: 字节跳动百度表现亮眼,DeepSeek Janus-Pro表现欠佳
如今,人工智能领域的前沿模型技术已经从文本处理拓展至视觉信息的深度理解与生成。这些模型既能精准解读图像语义,又能根据文字描述创作出兼具真实感与艺术性的视觉内容,展现出令人惊叹的跨模态理解与创作能力。本研究聚焦全新图像的生成和基于现有图像的图像修改两大核心任务,提出了一套系统性的人工智能模型图像生成能力评测框架。我们基于多维测试集的构建与专家评审,对15个专业文生图模型和7个多模态大语言模型的图像生成能力进行了全面评估。结果显示,字节跳动的即梦AI和豆包以及百度的文心一言在新图像生成的内容质量与修改任务中表现突出,位列第一梯队。对比不同类型的AI模型,我们发现,相对于专业文生图模型,多模态大语言模型整体表现更佳。
