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.

中文語境下的人工智能大模型圖像理解能力綜合評測報告
在科技迅猛發展的當下,人工智能技術不斷取得突破性進展,OpenAI的GPT-4o、穀歌的Gemini 2.0這類多模態模型以及通義千問-VL、混元-Vision等視覺語言模型迅速崛起。這些新一代模型在圖像理解方面展現出强大的能力,不僅具備出色的泛化性,而且還具有廣泛的應用潜力。然而,現階段對這些模型視覺能力的評估與認知仍存在不足。爲此,我們提出了一套全面且系統的圖像理解綜合評測框架,該框架涵蓋視覺感知與識別視覺推理與分析視覺審美與創意三大核心能力維度,同時還將安全與責任維度納入其中。通過設計針對性測試集,我們對20個國內外知名模型進行了全面評估,旨在爲多模態模型的研究與實際應用提供可靠參考依據。

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
