ACP Steering Committee Meeting for IT System 2026

The third steering committee meeting was held on 12^th Jul 2026 in ActiveCarePharmacy Limited (ACP) head office and we took a photo for memory. Peter updated the new situation and Matthew reviewed the whole project budget.

(Left: Mr. Vincent Lau, Mr. Peter Suen, Mr. Hubert Suen, Mr. Matthew Tsui and I)

We left and took a photo in front of ACP main entry. Peter and Hubert had appointment in Mainland China. Vincent also had another appointment.

After the meeting, Matthew and I had lunch and discussed the capstone projects.

用先天易數占『生意』，得668，卦象如下:

生意占知未見誇，鬼爻持世有參差；只宜謹慎加斟酌，只待來春方可佳．

這首籤詩是典型的「先凶後吉，待時而動」之局。668 此數對應的卦象核心在於「鬼爻持世」，這在生意占卜中代表「隱患當頭」——不是指有鬼怪，而是象徵壓力、小人、或資金周轉的暗礁。

此卦雖終吉，但中間的「參差」（波折）無法跳過。你的心態要像過冬，不求有功，但求無過，明年春雷響時，自然雲開見月。

Then Dr. Jeff Tang, Dr. Hongcheng Xie, Prof. Andy Chun and I visited the poster area.

I supported the student who studied using time series forecasting. I had studied time series forecasting long time ago.

Then Jeff and I supported Prof. Zackary Sin’s study and her project can help academic advisor for advisee’s study planning.

This poster related to Jeff research field HCI.

One of posters studied the mixture of experts.

I supported the student who studied AI for Science. One poster is related to molecule and the other one is related to protein.

This one is supervised by Prof. Zackary Sin and Prof. Qing Li.

We also visited the demonstrated session. My TA who demonstrated his DataClaw (AI agent) for claiming money process.

After the conference, the closing session and lunch were held in hotel.

Andy and I took a photo with all participants.

We sit in table 2 and took a photo for memory.

COMP Retreat 2026 cum HIT (Shenzhen) CST Research Student Conference (Day 2)

In the beginning of retreat day 2, Prof. Hongxia Yang shared her successful story from RAISE+ and her topic named “Reallm – World-leading Enterprise GenAI Infrastructure Solution”.

She shared some tips on presenting project to funding committee and showed us her presentation methods.

Prof. Allen Au had also shared his experience on RAISE+ preparation. He made proposal in the sequence from problem, to solution, market need, team capability to commercialization path.

Prof. Fiona Liu introduced the Departmental Entrepreneurship Fund 2026 and encouraged colleague to join this funding.

Finally, Prof. Li Qing summarized the retreat activities.

Many colleagues studied together.

Afterwards, we went to the Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) (HIT). Prof. Andy Chun, Dr. Raymond Pang, Dr. Jeff Tang and I took a photo in front of the banner.

We had lunch at the campus restaurant.

After lunch, we waited for the conference to begin.

Prof. Andy Chun and I took a photo in front of the conference banner.

HIT representative introduced all guests including COMP Prof. Li and so on.

In the beginning of the conference, Prof. Bing Li (Vice President, HIT(SZ)) gave welcome speech.

Then Prof. Qing Li presented the representatives of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) (HIT(SZ)) with souvenirs from Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and took a group photo with them to express his gratitude for their support of the conference.

And then Prof. Xutao Li (Vice Dean of School of CST, HIT(SZ)) gave an opening speech.

Prof. Qing Li gave opening remark and appreciated all supporter and participants.

After that Prof. Lei Yang presented the TPC report.

The total paper submission was up to 356 and PolyU COMP had 256 and HIT(SZ) CST had 100.

Prof. Yi Pan (Dean and Chair Professor, School of Computer Science and Control Engineering, Shenzhen University of Technology) was the keynote speaker and his topic entitled “Current Development Status and Future Breakthrough Directions of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Large Language Models” (通用人工智能大模型的发展现状与未来突破方向).

He then said six key elements for successful AI Implementation including Big Data, Optimized Algorithms, Strong Computing Power, Knowledge Integration, Interpretability and Low Energy Consumption.

After that he mentioned the nature of AI LLM including Data is the fuel, Model is the engine, Computing power is the driving force, Knowledge is the capital, Interpretability is the root and Energy is the physical foundation.

Finally, Prof. Yi Pan outlines eleven strategic directions for future AI breakthroughs, offering a comprehensive theoretical guide for industrial and technological innovation across three core dimensions: embodiment, cognition, and computational paradigms. First, AI will advance toward true Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) through humanoid robots possessing both cognitive and emotional intelligence (IQ and EQ), guided by clear implementation pathways and evaluated by a redesigned Turing Test. Second, cognitive architectures will increasingly mimic biological systems, incorporating brain-inspired intelligence, spatial intelligence, world models, high-dimensional intelligence, and coordinated left/right-brain cooperative processing. Finally, to power these advanced systems, computing paradigms must fundamentally evolve. This transformation requires novel computing frameworks, a balance between general-purpose systems and specialized chips (ASICs), and the integration of hybrid digital-analog, mixed-precision, and probabilistic computing. Ultimately, these architectures will transition beyond traditional silicon toward frontier hardware platforms, including quantum, optical, and biological computing.

After the keynote, we went to the H block. Dr. Raymond Pang, Dr. Jeff Tang and I took a photo in front of the building.

Prof. Andy Chun and I took a photo inside the hall and it is the 20^th anniversary of HIT in Shenzhen.

And then we had a tea in Luckin coffee in the campus.

When I went to the parallel session, I saw the tea arrangement.

Then I participated the session 4 – AI for Science.

Mr. Hua Haowei presented “Local-Global Associative Frames for Symmetry-Preserving Crystal Structure Modelling” that he could like to seek acceleration of crystal material design.

Mr. Zhang Wengyu presented “GraphATC: advancing multilevel and multi-label anatomical therapeutic chemical classification via atom-level graph learning”.

After the parallel session, we all come back to hotel for dinner.

Prof. Li gave a speech.

At night, we had happy hour in Walters’ room again.

We went to the bar on our way out and asked if they were open during the World Cup for Walter. Then we back room for preparing the next morning conference.
