HKU Business School PhD Recruitment Camp 2024: Exploring the Path to Academic Excellence

HKU Business School PhD Recruitment Camp 2024: Exploring the Path to Academic Excellence

The HKU Business School PhD Recruitment Camp 2024 was successfully held from May 1 to 3, 2024.  53 elite students with diverse academic backgrounds from China, Singapore, the UK and the USA were selected from a pool of over three hundred applicants to join us at the event.  During the three-day Camp, participants were presented with the unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the prospects of pursuing PhD studies through a series of interactive activities.

The Camp kicked off with the opening speech of Prof. Chen Lin, Associate Dean (Research and Knowledge Exchange), who gave an introduction of HKU Business School and provided an overview of our PhD programme. Following a delightful lunch, an alumni sharing session was organised where three distinguished alumni shared their personal experiences and insights of their PhD journeys.  We also took the participants on a captivating campus tour to show them the beauty of our campus while sharing interesting facts and important historical details of the university with them.

As a perfect conclusion to Day 1, we embarked on a boat ride to Lamma Island to indulge in delicious seafood.  Participants had the chance to socialise with our Faculty members and current students during this casual and relaxing outing.

Day 2 commenced with an enlightening PhD Students Research Showcase, where six current students presented their research projects to showcase the diverse portfolio of the research interests and strengths of our PhD students.  In the afternoon, the participants were divided into six areas according to their chosen field of research study, and engaged in intellectual activities such as thematic talks, research workshops and academic discussions with faculties.

On Day 3, the Camp concluded with a memorable closing ceremony where Prof. Lin gave his closing remarks and presented the certificates to all successful participants.  Following the ceremony, individual interviews were conducted, providing an opportunity for in-depth discussions and assessments.

We hope the experience has enriched students’ understanding of our PhD programme and inspired their intellectual curiosity to achieve excellence in academic research.  We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all supporting parties for making the PhD Recruitment Camp a tremendous success!

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。
