Tencent Hybrid, in collaboration with HKUST and Tsinghua University, has launched "Follow Your Emoji", a portrait animation generation framework that, given a photo, transforms it into a "vivid" facial animation. Given a photo, "Follow Your Emoji" can transform it into a "living" facial animation, while capturing subtle expression changes. With the paper address: https://arxiv.org/html/2406.01900v1 Project address: https://follow-your-emoji.github.io/ Based on algorithmic innovation and data accumulation...

At the Future Artificial Intelligence Pioneer Forum of the Zhongguancun Forum, Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University jointly launched China's first long-duration, highly consistent and highly dynamic video model - "Vidu". The core of this era-leading video model lies in the team's original U-ViT architecture that combines Diffusion and Transformer. It can not only generate up to 16 seconds of high-definition video with a clarity of 1080P in one click, but also show amazing imagination while simulating the real physical world. Multi-lens generation and high consistency in time and space are all Vidu's features.

Tsinghua University today announced the establishment of the School of Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on the two key directions of "AI Core Basic Theory and Architecture" and "Artificial Intelligence + X", and building China's own "AI Top Talent and Original Innovation Pedestal" with a high positioning and a new mechanism to provide strong support for the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. With a high positioning and new mechanism, it will build China's own "AI top talents and original innovation base" and provide strong support for realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. The first president of Tsinghua University Artificial Intelligence Institute is Yao Zhizhi, a Turing Award winner and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. According to reports, Tsinghua University has a profound accumulation of AI talent training and scientific research, and is one of the earliest units in China to carry out AI teaching and scientific research, a number of Tsinghua alumni...

The latest March 2024 edition of SuperBench Big Model Comprehensive Capability Evaluation Report released by the Basic Model Research Center of Tsinghua University covers a total of 14 models with influence at home and abroad. In this evaluation, the performance of Wenshin 4.0 is remarkable, its performance is close to the international top models, and the gap with the top models is gradually narrowing, which is considered as the leading model in China. For example, in the evaluation of human alignment ability, Wenshin 4.0 ranks first in China with excellent performance. In the evaluation of Chinese reasoning and Chinese language, Wenshin 4.0 is far ahead, and the gap with other models is obvious...

The new achievements of the research team of Tsinghua University were published in the latest issue of Science in the early morning of April 12. They pioneered a distributed broad intelligent optical computing architecture and developed the world's first large-scale interference diffraction heterogeneous integrated chip "Taichi", which achieved 160 TOPS/W general intelligent computing. According to reports, the development of the "Tai Chi" optical chip architecture was inspired by the classic "Book of Changes". Inspired by the "Tai Chi in Yi, it gives birth to two yin and yang", the team members established a new computing model and realized the release of the powerful performance of optical computing. Optical computing, as the name suggests, is to change the computing carrier from electricity to light,...

Tencent, Tsinghua University, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have jointly launched a new image-generated video model called "Follow-Your-Click", which is now available on GitHub (the code will be made public in April), and a research paper has also been published (DOI: 2403.08268). The main functions of this image-generated video model include local animation generation and multi-object animation, and support for a variety of action expressions, such as head adjustment and wing flapping. According to reports, Follow-Your-Click can generate local image animations through user clicks and short action prompts. User…
