BREAD Asia 2024 Strengthens International Collaboration in Development Research

BREAD Asia 2024 Strengthens International Collaboration in Development Research

We are thrilled to have co-hosted the prestigious Asia BREAD conference, uniting over 60 top development economists from across Asia and leading US and UK institutions, including Nobel laureate Abhijeet Banerjee (MIT), ADB Chief Economist Albert Park, and Professor Imran Rasul (UCL).

Founded in 2002, BREAD is a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing research in development economics. This year marked a significant milestone, as it was the first time this esteemed conference was held in Asia, fostering collaboration among Asian economists and enhancing networks in the region.

Our co-organiser, Prof. Gedeon Lim , along with faculty members Prof. Bingjing Li, Prof. Yiming Cao, and Prof. Guojun He, worked closely with NUS to make this event a success. Highlights included Prof. Banerjee’s thought-provoking insights on critical issues like gender and the environment, as well as Prof. Park’s focus on evidence-based research and encouraging collaboration.

We can’t wait for the next Asia BREAD conference in 2027!

人工智能大语言模型图像理解能力综合评测报告
在科技迅猛发展的当下,人工智能技术不断取得突破性进展,OpenAI的GPT-4o、谷歌的Gemini 2.0这类多模态模型以及通义千问-VL、混元-Vision等视觉语言模型迅速崛起。这些新一代模型在图像理解方面展现出强大的能力,不仅具备出色的泛化性,而且还具有广泛的应用潜力。然而,现阶段对这些模型视觉能力的评估与认知仍存在不足。为此,我们提出了一套全面且系统的图像理解综合评测框架,该框架涵盖视觉感知与识别视觉推理与分析视觉审美与创意三大核心能力维度,同时还将安全与责任维度纳入其中。通过设计针对性测试集,我们对20个国内外知名模型进行了全面评估,旨在为多模态模型的研究与实际应用提供可靠参考依据。
