Tsinghua University
Hua Zhibing, China’s first virtual student enabled by the country’s largest pre-trained model, made its debut last Tuesday.
With the move, Hua officially became a student in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Hua, a “woman”, is able to compose poetry and music and has some ability in reasoning and emotional interaction.
The virtual student was co-developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, Zhipu AI and a company, Xiaoice. It is powered by the second generation of WuDao, a pre-trained model.
“Compared with other common pre-trained models like GPT-3, WuDao is a multimodal model, which can understand and generate pictures and other content formats,” said Tang Jie, deputy dean of academic affairs at the academy and a Tsinghua University professor.
