【Week 1 of Embodied AI 101 is in the books! 🤖🌟】 What a thrilling kick-off to IDSS 2501 at IDS summer school! An exclusive lab visit with real-life robot demos was arranged for our students, which brought concepts to life! #IDSsummer #港大数据科学暑假课程
Watched the soccer game Liverpool FC versus AC Milan today in Hong Kong’s new stadium. Completely full with 50,000 people. Amazing atmosphere and experience!
🚀 Excited to drop our ✨DeepCode✨ - Easy-to-Use AI Coding Assistant! Fully Open-sourced 🔗: github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode Three core capabilities: 🔬 Paper2Code: Research to Algorithm Implementation 🎨 Text2Web: Natural Language to Front-End Web Development ⚙️ Text2Backend: Text to…
【Let’s ignite our summer vibes! 🤖✨】 HKU IDS is thrilled to welcome our new cohort of summer students to the HKU Summer Institute IDSS2501: Embodied AI 101, kicking off today! See you in class with our 3 teachers the coming 2 weeks! 🚀 #HKU #IDSsummer #港大数据科学暑假课程
HKU IDS summer school on embodied AI. About 100 students from all over converge at HKU for an intense two weeks of lectures and projects.
Any scientists should have a fundamental drive to understand and explain about anything that is significant in nature. Historically, blackboxes always brew superstitions, fears and worships, and lead to suppression, manipulation, and exploitation. I believe that is happening to…
lecun has hardly favored white box?
DeepMind got a gold medal at the IMO on Friday afternoon. But they had to wait for marketing to approve the tweet — until Monday. @OpenAI shared theirs first at 1am on Saturday and stole the spotlight. In this game, speed > bureaucracy. Miss the moment, lose the narrative.
Just 20 minutes ago, the result of 2025 IMO was out. China ranked No.1 and @GoogleDeepMind won a gold medal 🥇 Future math competitions will be China team vs USA Chinese team vs AI
Problem 2 is a geometry problem—normally solved by humans using intuition, symmetry, and elegant theorems. OpenAI, however, went full brute-force: 442 lines of coordinate geometry and algebra. Technically flawless. Aesthetically not so much. No geometric insight, no clever…
Just read @OpenAI's solution to IMO Problem 1. The math checks out—it nailed the key lemma: for n > 3, any n-line cover of P_n must include a triangle side (i.e. a non-sunny line). That reduces the problem to n = 3, where everything becomes casework. Clean move. However the…
1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).
To me, the real danger of current artificial intelligence is that the whole society increasingly relies on "knowledges" generated by machines that in fact do not understand them. It is not the action of current AI systems that would doom us but our own misjudgment and behaviors…
Maybe the current approach to "artificial" intelligence and "super" intelligence will only lead us to "superficial intelligence"?
Few people in the world know that all 3D spaces with constant curvature (including Euclidean, Spherical and Hyperbolic) follow the same multi-view geometry that allows us to reconstruct 3D from 2D projections? I did this project when I was a graduate student pursuing a master in…
