Climathon@Hangzhou 2022

The “Climathon@Hangzhou 2022” is a regional case competition, hosted by the Melton Foundation. This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the competition was organised virtually by Melton Foundation ZU (Zhejiang University) and co-organised by the ZU Student Association of Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction (SAEC).

The competition aims to develop tangible and efficient solutions and to collaborate on forward-thinking ideas from students that tackle local environmental and climate change challenges.

During the 24-hour virtual innovation marathon, students learnt about environmental issues through keynote speeches given by scholars and experts and received guidance from the judges before the final presentation. The theme of Climathon@Hangzhou 2022 focused on energy conservation and emission reductions, as well as community involvement and economic growth.

Students Sharing:

 “Participating in Climathon@Hangzhou 2022 was a fun and unique experience. At first, we found the case challenging due to its innovative nature, the unfamiliar context and the need of coming up with a pain point on our own. However, we managed to come up with an idea and solution that we were satisfied with. Throughout this competition, I was able to develop my intellectual knowledge in both E-commerce and Augmented Reality. I also seized this precious opportunity to learn from the professional judges and the other teams. It was extremely memorable when the professor specifically mentioned our team during the debriefing, encouraging us to continue developing our idea and even to connect with his team.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my teammates for their immense effort, especially during the first hour of brainstorming. I would not have gone this far without them.”

“The Climathon@Hangzhou was a fruitful experience. As the person in charge of E-commerce, not only did I learn a lot about the operation and the business model of online shopping, but I also gained more knowledge of cryptocurrency. My research and presentation skills have also been polished in the case. It is definitely a precious chance of learning.  Furthermore, I would like to thank my teammates for their dedication and all the hard work. I would not have done it without them.”

“To me, participating in Climathon@Hangzhou 2022 was an enigmatic yet intriguing experience. It was also a challenging experience since I have never joined a case study competition before. We are required to thoroughly investigate a case and come up with new innovative ideas in a limited period of time.  Fortunately, our team managed to overcome all these trials and tribulations. Since I am responsible for the background and current situation of  E-commerce in Hangzhou, I am able to gain a deep insight into the carbon emission due to E-commerce, which is mainly contributed by logistics and packaging. As a witness of these evitable carbon emissions, we proposed two potential solutions, Augmented Reality and Location-Based Advertising. It was such a precious opportunity that I learnt to appreciate the beauty of E-commerce. Lastly, I would like to express my platitude of gratitude to all of my teammates. Without our concerted effort, we could never have done it.”

人工智能大語言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。
