Business Administration Paper 2021 Sponsored by UBS

Background:
Established in 1986, the Business Administration Paper (BA Paper) is an international case competition held annually by the Hong Kong Federation of Business Students (HKFBS). This year, over 50 teams from all around the world virtually joined the competition.

To participate in the BA Paper Case Competition, teams were required to submit a 5-page proposal and a poster to explain the crux of their ideas. Shortlisted teams had to submit a 10-page written proposal and a 10-minutes presentation. Finalist teams were selected to attend pitching workshops and mentoring sessions with industry professionals. In the finals, teams had to construct a 15-page written proposal and a 12-minutes presentation with 5-minutes of Q&A from renowned judges.

Teams with outstanding performances were awarded cash prizes, exclusive collaboration opportunities, and trophies.

Students Sharing:
“When we named our team as Cadence in a dimly-lit room at midnight, little did we know that it would be announced in front of a hundred participants in one of the biggest case competitions in Hong Kong.

In retrospect, this has been an unforgettable journey as I learnt a tremendous amount from my talented teammates and the case. It was indeed intellectually stimulating to learn blockchain from a computer science perspective and a law perspective. Our mentors from cybersecurity and financial technology also provided valuable insights into our initiative by pointing out problems like scalability and profitability for us to ponder upon. Their encouragement and strong belief in us also fuelled us to move forward despite obstacles.

I would have to thank our team as we wouldn’t have achieved this result without each other. We had a great team dynamic, and our diverse backgrounds and skill sets complemented each other. Our only common ground was music, as our meetings culminated in enthusiastic music-blasting sessions. When we stumbled across a Youtube video about the sufferings of musicians, we knew that we couldn’t turn a blind eye to this problem.

We are fortunate to experience the rise of ABCD technologies (AI, blockchain, cloud, data analytics) and the era of Web3. We are equipped with truly transformational tool kits to help solve social problems that we are passionate about. In fact, our solution was driven by “shared value”, which means planning for economic benefit and positively impacting social and environmental conditions. We aspire to create a profitable business while solving a thorny problem for our most favourite musicians.

In the competition, I learnt to not only create a profitable business model and financial projection, but also to conduct detailed market analysis to understand our competitive advantage. I also had hands-on experience in pitching a compelling business idea with enthusiasm and engagement to a panel of industry professionals. We were also challenged to think on the spot in response to critical questions pointed out by the judges.”

港大經管學院最新多模態AI圖像生成能力排名出爐 部份中國人工智能模型表現突出
港大經管學院今日發表《人工智能模型圖像生成能力綜合評測報告》,針對15個「文生圖模型」及7個「多模態大語言模型」進行全面評估。研究顯示,字節跳動的即夢AI和豆包,以及百度的文心一言,在新圖像生成的內容質素及圖像修改的表現突出;而早前引起全球關注的DeepSeek最新推出的文生圖模型Janus-Pro,則在新圖像生成方面表現欠佳。研究亦發現部分文生圖模型雖然在內容質素方面表現優異,卻在安全與責任方面的表現強差人意。整體而言,與文生圖模型相比,多模態大語言模型整體表現較佳。

人工智能圖像生成評測成績單公布: 字節跳動百度表現亮眼,DeepSeek Janus-Pro表現欠佳
如今,人工智能領域的前沿模型技術已經從文本處理拓展至視覺信息的深度理解與生成。這些模型既能精准解讀圖像語義,又能根據文字描述創作出兼具真實感與藝術性的視覺內容,展現出令人驚嘆的跨模態理解與創作能力。本研究聚焦全新圖像的生成和基于現有圖像的圖像修改兩大核心任務,提出了一套系統性的人工智能模型圖像生成能力評測框架。我們基于多維測試集的構建與專家評審,對15個專業文生圖模型和7個多模態大語言模型的圖像生成能力進行了全面評估。結果顯示,字節跳動的即夢AI和豆包以及百度的文心一言在新圖像生成的內容質量與修改任務中表現突出,位列第一梯隊。對比不同類型的AI模型,我們發現,相對于專業文生圖模型,多模態大語言模型整體表現更佳。
