According to reports from Agence France-Presse and Sin Chew Daily, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology recently began testing the use of "AI lecturers". Students can use head-mounted displays and other devices to see the digital human "Einstein" explain game theory. The school has designed 10 AI lecturers from all over the world, from all walks of life, and from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds through generative AI tools. It is reported that the school hopes to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning and improve classroom participation through this innovative teaching model. In the future, it will also design personalized AI classrooms based on students' preferences and interests. Leading this AI project…

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…
