Hong Kong Baptist University at the forefront of human-AI symbiotic art creation with innovative performance

Hong Kong Baptist University

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 2 August 2022 - A pioneering and bold attempt to apply artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the performing arts was carried out by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in a public concert held on 14 July in Hong Kong. The HKBU Symphony Orchestra and an AI virtual choir perform a newly arranged choral-orchestral version of the song Pearl of the Orient, with an accompanying cross-media visual narrative based on the lyrics and music created by an AI media artist. The innovative performance was the first human-AI collaboration of its kind in the world, and it showcased how AI can be a creative force that can perform music, create cross-media art, and dance. The performance was powered by the AI technologies developed by HKBU scientists under the “ Building Platform Technologies for Symbiotic Creativity in Hong Kong ” research project. The concert, dubbed “A Lovers’ Reunion”, was the Annual Gala Concert of the HKBU Symphony Orchestra, and it was conducted by its music director, Professor Johnny M Poon. The research project is led by Professor Guo Yike, Vice-President (Research and Development) of HKBU, and supported by HK$52.84 million (US$6.77 million) in funding from the Theme-based Research Scheme under the Research Grants Council. Its deputy project coordinator, Professor Johnny M Poon, is the Associate Vice-President (Interdisciplinary Research) and the Founding Dean of HKBU’s School of Creative Arts. The project team also comprises computer scientists from HKBU’s Augmented Creativity Lab. The unique mix of scientists and artists in the project team enables them to merge their cross-disciplinary knowledge and come up with sparkling ideas on how to unleash the endless possibilities of art creation with the infusion of cutting-edge technologies. At the Concert, the project team presented a performance that marked the first time in the world that an AI choir had combined with an AI-generated visual storyteller to perform interactively with a conductor and an orchestra. The HKBU Symphony Orchestra shared the stage with an AI virtual choir to perform a newly arranged version of the song Pearl of the Orient with the voices of 320 virtual performers. The AI virtual choir was “trained” by HKBU researchers using the generative models of singing that they built by extracting and disentangling key contributing features of vocal singing from a collection of songs recorded by professional singers. An AI media artist learnt from the lyrics of the Pearl of the Orient, and it created a stunning cross-media visual narrative of the song according to its interpretation of the underlying meaning of the lyrics. Unlike the conventional AI machines that import images as a reference for the algorithms to mimic, it used textual lyrics as the sole input so that it can associate the underlying meaning of the lyrics with an appreciation of the beauty of Hong Kong. Another highlight of the Concert was a ballet performance featuring AI virtual dancers in Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, accompanied live by the HKBU Symphony Orchestra. With the help of professional dancers from the Hong Kong Dance Company, the AI virtual dancers interpreted the underlying emotional and aesthetic connections between the music and the dance. The dance movements, inspired by a newly discovered species of box jellyfish in Hong Kong, were then choreographed. Please click here to view highlights of the performance, and click here for more production details of the performance. The AI-driven performance is one of the many milestone deliverables of the “Building Platform Technologies for Symbiotic Creativity in Hong Kong” research project, and others include an art data repository, a generative AI algorithms system, a research theatre, a digital art and policy network, and some unique and creative application projects, to name but a few. Another important initiative HKBU is organising is the “Human, Machine, Art, Creativity: International Symposium” in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 9 August. “AI is revolutionising numerous fields of knowledge, and it is playing a more and more significant role in many creative processes like music, visual arts and architecture. The Symposium will gather world-renowned researchers from academia and industry, crossing different expertise areas, to jointly discuss emerging topics in human-AI symbiotic art creativity,” said Professor Guo. The Symposium will cover topics including the enabling technologies of symbiotic art creation and manifestation, the aesthetics and cognitive values of symbiotic art creativity, the new trend of the art economy with Web 3.0, new issues raised by the new forms of art in society, and the impact on art community stakeholders, among others. Interested parties can visit the Symposium’s website for more details. Contact Details The Communication and Public Relations Office, HKBU Wong Suk-ling +852 3411 2119 hkbunews@hkbu.edu.hk

Minuteman Press Million-Dollar Owners Thomas and Denise Batliner Share Keys to Business Growth in Louisville, KY

Minuteman Press International Inc

Thomas and Denise Batliner have owned their Minuteman Press franchise located at 3905 Bardstown Road since November of 2005. With over 16 years in business, Thomas shares the following insights that helped he and Denise grow their business in Louisville and become members of the Minuteman Press International President’s Million-Dollar Circle. On this accomplishment, Thomas says, “Denise and I believe marketing efforts, customer service, networking, and a little luck have been vital to our success and longevity. We would like to place special emphasis on customer service. At Minuteman Press in Louisville, we focus on treating the customer as we would like to be treated. We believe anyone who walks through the door can be our next biggest customer, and hospitality may make or break the possible relationship.” He continues, “Over the past 16+ years in business, Denise and I have grown the business by developing relationships with new customer bases. More specifically, we gained these relationships through acquisitions. For example, in August of 2012, we purchased an independent printer. This acquisition almost doubled our 2011 sales in addition to our everyday marketing and networking. Then, in December of 2020, we purchased an independent promotional products company. Like our 2012 acquisition, we almost doubled the past year’s sales. Our new customers are the key to our success, and we appreciate their continued business and loyalty.” From the US Navy to Owning a Printing Business Prior to franchising with Minuteman Press, Thomas Batliner served in the US Navy. He shares, “We didn't start Minuteman Press until 2005 when I was 38 years old. Before reaching this point, I served in the United States Navy for three years where I specialized in aviation hydraulics (AMH3). This military experience reinforced the work ethic instilled in me at a young age while farming with my family and has played a vital role in driving my determination to stay in the printing industry.” Thomas continues, “Furthermore, after being honorably discharged, I was a tool and die specialist by trade before being promoted to an estimator at a plastics manufacturer, Beach, Mold, and Tool, now known as NYX. While in this role, I earned an associate degree in Business. But most importantly, I decided I wanted to drive my career and become an entrepreneur. Minuteman Press matched this goal because of the low initial investment, and the business presented the new challenge I was seeking.” “Minuteman Press International supported me from the beginning before I had any professional knowledge about the printing industry. For instance, at the initial home office training, I learned basic facts about paper stocks and more information regarding machine availability and capabilities. Lastly, our office utilizes FLEX, the workflow software developed by Minuteman Press that constantly evolves to add effective apps that drive marketing value.” – Thomas Batliner, owner, Minuteman Press, Louisville, KY Leveraging Local Business Relationships & Benefits of Printing Today When asked what it has been like to own a business in Louisville for over 16 years, Thomas shares, “We are in an urban area and serve a diverse community. There are people from many varying backgrounds, and we have learned about different cultures from around the world. Additionally, we are part of a community where nearby business owners help and look out for one another. For instance, a nearby competitor has helped us continue production during machine downtime and meet customer demand. To return this favor, we have been known to share our resources if this competitor is short-staffed. Because of this dynamic, we believe it is important to develop healthy relationships with everyone in the community, even those with competing business goals.” Thomas explains why printing remains so vital today, sharing, “We believe printing remains vital today because it secures a company’s mission. In terms of management, it also provides different avenues for documentation. To illustrate, when a business provides a digital or physical copy of an employee handbook to its staff, it can better document and communicate expectations and other important information.” He adds, “The main benefit of print is that it can be found everywhere, from the menu you use at your favorite restaurant menu to the branded t-shirt you buy at the store. Because of print's presence, companies always need it. Even during uncertain times like the pandemic, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, and a variety of other companies needed printed materials promoting safety warnings and best practices.” “Our highest demand products and services include envelopes, every door direct mail (EDDM), and wide format printing, a powerful visual medium used for larger files such as blueprints and banners. Our customers value these products and services because they can reach a larger audience. In addition to our highest demand products, key growth areas for our business are promotional products and branded apparel. For example, the customers from our acquisition of the promotional products company have driven sales and we have added a new product line that existing customers can access.” –Thomas Batliner Rewards of Owning a Business & Advice to Others As Thomas and Denise reflect on their accomplishments, there are a couple of items that really stick out. Thomas says, “The biggest personal reward for Denise and me was the ability to put both of our children through college as traditional four-year students. Lauren, our oldest, is now a critical care nurse and Erica, our youngest, is a sourcing and supply chain professional.” He adds, “Aside from this personal reward, our biggest professional reward was receiving our plaque for the Minuteman Press International President's Million Dollar circle. After 16+ years of business, it was an honor to achieve such a high sales goal and to meet others who have accomplished the same or more.” Thomas shares the following advice to today’s aspiring business owners, saying, “The advice I would give to someone looking to own a business is ‘do your homework.’ You need to choose something you can be passionate about and enjoy daily. Despite the hard work ahead of you, because there are some long days and weeks, it can be very rewarding.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Louisville, Kentucky, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/ky/louisville20/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

RoboHero Launches a Mobile Game with a Metaverse Dimension

RoboHero

RoboHero is proud to announce the addition of two new systems that will make each gamer’s experience even more immersive: a PvE and a PvP system. With these new systems, gamers will be able to battle villains not just by themselves but with friends. The team is not far from releasing a game demo video that will highlight the main features of the project. While players wait for the game release, this video will certainly answer many questions of the online community. And what’s more, RoboHero will be one of the first mobile games to introduce a metaverse dimension into its gameplay. Consequently, the world will not just be limited to a smartphone screen but will extend far beyond. The RoboHero app has received a major update with a new section called RoboHero University. This allows users to answer questions regarding RoboHero in order to receive rewards. The top 100 players in the game receive rewards. In addition, the game demo video is almost ready. RoboHero will finally be able to show its users what the game will look like. The Game Announcement Having rebuilt society after a catastrophic event, intelligent robots are fighting a war over the resources they require to live. BioRobots fight against each other in a digital world of action, adventure, and intrigue. There are two gaming modes: “PvE,” which means playing against the computer “PvP,” which means playing against another person. Each player must have a wallet full of tokens to participate in either game mode. Player against Player (PvP) and Player versus Environment (PvE) are fundamentally different types of play. If players are looking for an easier game, they may equip their RoboHero with special equipment. There are 127 hexagons on the fight map. In addition, the system places ten random structures on the map. In order to win the fight, players must either defeat their opponent or take control of six of their structures. A Game Offering Bonuses to Its Community In RoboHero, gamers can enjoy several perks and bonuses. Among these, the team mentioned: Players can purchase insurance for PVP battles to protect their robots from damage. Each RoboHero group has developed its own special gear to improve the abilities of those who wear it. Each player can claim ROBO tokens in the story mode and native tokens in the PVP mode. NFT Lands play an essential role in the RoboHero, where PVP fights occur. NFT Mines are present throughout the world of RoboHero and are used to craft weapons and armor. It is possible to get a new robot through breeding. The Watch2Earn application allows players to receive SCRAP points for watching ads and enter the game with a new robot. About RoboHero RoboHero is a revolutionary app that allows users to take advantage of the moments that everyone tends to waste during the day. Through watching ads, users can gain SCRAP points and use them to get their first playable NFT character in the game. RoboHero also offers a special educational section, or "RoboHero University." In RoboHero, a metaverse realm enhances the project's gameplay in a mobile game. In the long run, this feature has the potential to be a game changer for RoboHero. In the metaverse, RoboHero provides a clever method for saving money at first and earning them afterwards. Using this software, players don't have to worry about making the initial investment in P2E games. In many cases, players must pay hundreds of dollars to even have a chance at the game. They're not even sure if they'll stick around for the long haul after this huge investment. RoboHero goes a different route by allowing players to earn cryptocurrency as they progress through the metaverse. With two gameplay systems, gamers may now achieve success in the game by experiencing two fundamentally distinct gaming experiences. In RoboHero, players may benefit from various extras, such as insurance for PvP fights, which guards against robot damage. In addition, the game provides players with various unique items that improve the abilities of those who own them. Everyone who plays this game can expect an entertaining and engaging experience. The project's website and the social media platforms listed below provide more details about this intriguing new game.

The Bandit Project Picks August 11 as Public Presale Date for $BANDIT Token

The Bandit Project

July 30, 2022 - The Bandit Project, a DeFi initiative allowing users to earn passive income while generating NFTs, announced it will hold a public presale for its $BANDIT token on August 11 at 11 a.m. EST. The minimum contribution will be 300 BUSD, while the maximum will be 1,000 BUSD. The much-anticipated event is an important step in the project's development. It follows a whitelist presale phase, which ended in mid-July and sold out all the tokens on offer for that event. The Bandit Project enables users to become part owners of a platform and share the revenue when they provide liquidity to the Bank. Moreover, they can earn 100% passively or enjoy commission from the team-building referral systems. The project allows users to build a team of NFTs and generate cash passively with no price floor necessary. Also, every new NFT brings 1% more daily income. So, the bigger the team, the higher the gains will be. The NFT collection will feature 3,000 unique non-fungible token characters available on the BNB Chain. Each represents a potential passive income opportunity for holders. The Bandit Project may pay out a maximum of 15,000 BANDIT tokens every time it retires an NFT. After they start producing passive revenue, users will have to choose a business model for their funds. For example, they can use one of the project's several features, such as the Black Market, an internal decentralized exchange. Others include opening a Laundromat contract, staking, and selling their NFTs. The $BANDIT Token The Bandit Project will use the $BANDIT to run most of its operations. Token holders can earn passive income by minting NFTs, providing liquidity, and getting revenue shares from all project transactions. Here’s a short presentation of the taxes that come with $BANDIT token transactions: ● A 10% BUY and SELL tax, of which 4% will go to rewards, 2% to liquidity, 2% to growth fund, and 2% to the Bank. ● The 10% CLAIM tax, out of which 8% will go to rewards and 2% will go to the Bank. ● A 10% MINTING & NFT DEPOSITS tax, out of which 5% will go to upline members, 3% to the reward pool, and 2% to the Bank. ● The 10% AIRDROPS & TRANSFERS tax, with all proceeds going to the reward pool. ● A 5% COMPOUNDS tax will be split equally between upline members and the reward pool. About The Bandit Project The Bandit Project aims to bring innovation in NFT staking by allowing holders to earn passive income and own a part of the platform, as well. The project provides several ways to make an earning without being active, including a highly-rewarding referral system. For example, users can earn a commission from the earnings of each of the members they refer. The public presale for the $BANDIT token is the next big step in the project’s development. The event will take place on August 11 at 11 a.m. EST, and you can join here.
