Huawei Honors WukongHuahua SciFi AI FineTuning And Application Competition Winners
CHENGDU, China , Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Winners of the Wukong-Huahua AI Application and Customization Competition with the theme “Science Fiction and Creativity” received prizes from Huawei in the Science Fiction Versus Science Fiction Competition . Scientific presentation. It was held at the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum. Huawei hosted the show at the 81st World Science Fiction Convention. Salona speakers include Wang Jinkang, director of the Science Fiction Creativity Research Center of the Chinese Writers Association, Nnedi Okorafor, winner of the 2016 and 2023 Hugo Awards, and Yu Kun, winner of the Chinese Galaxy Awards and Nebula, and director of Huawei. The MindSpore open source community is Xiaoman.
During the Wukong-Huahua AI Refinement and Application Competition, teams from around the world refined Wukong-Huahua models to create artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) or create applications based on them. As a result, six teams took first and second place.
The basic Wukong-Huahua model is a diffusion model that can produce images based on Chinese text. This model combines the MindSpore AI framework and Ascend Atlas hardware. It is trained on the Wukong dataset, which is the world's largest open source Chinese-language multimodal dataset. This template can create high-quality images depicting different scenes in different styles.
Science fiction and technological progress have long been interdependent. Although science fiction has encouraged generations of entrepreneurs and investors to create and support more innovative technological products, advances in new sciences and technologies in turn encourage science fiction creators to imagine increasingly complex and exciting worlds.
Huawei's Hu Xiaoman spoke at the event about how new technologies, such as prototyping, can be applied in creative fields such as science fiction. Previously, society used AI technology to better monitor and analyze the world, but recent advances in AI have increased the technology's ability to generate and create content. AIGC technology is developing rapidly and is widely used in science fiction. According to Hu: "We should focus on how technology can help solve real-world problems, rather than seeing it as a source of unhappiness."
Yu Kun also said that technology has radically changed our world. As more and more new technologies emerge every day, he warned that theoretical advances in basic science and technology are urgently needed and that companies like Huawei must translate them into real-world applications if we are to realize the full potential of these technologies.
Nnedi Okorafor talks about the importance of science fiction in Africa , especially its impact on local technological development. He believes that science fiction is the result of the globalization of creative thinking and that African science fiction is a medium that allows people to imagine the future and explore how technology can shape society, economy and politics.
In the future, Huawei will continue to support the development of science fiction, expand its technological advantages, and harness the power of technology to realize new science fiction ideas. Huawei will also continue to explore the limitless frontiers of science and technology, openly cooperate with other countries in the world, and apply ICT to all industries. By offering digital, smart and environmentally friendly solutions, Huawei aims to create added value for the industry and offer the benefits of technology to everyone.
