Young people like nightlife, and Chengdu’s night consumption leads the new first-tier cities.

  According to the data of science and technology platform, in March this year, Chengdu led many night indicators such as catering, hotel accommodation, leisure and entertainment, and film performances.

  With the release of "2022 Urban Business Environment Innovation Report", Chengdu was selected as "2022 Urban Business Environment Innovation City" and Pengzhou was selected as "2022 Urban Business Environment Innovation County (City)".

  "Walk with me in the streets of Chengdu …" In Zhao Lei’s songs, Chengdu is not only a capital of fireworks favored by tourists during the day, but also attracts tourists to linger at night.

  Since the beginning of this year, local consumption has recovered, and the night economy has driven the market vitality. According to the data of science and technology platform, in March this year, the overall order volume of night consumption in Chengdu increased by 26.6% year-on-year, and many night indicators such as catering, hotel accommodation, leisure and entertainment, and film performances led the way, becoming the new first-tier city with the largest order volume and transaction volume at night.

  new life

  Go to work during the day and set up a stall at night

  Young people like nightlife.

  As the weather gets warmer and tourists flock to Chengdu, "night economy" has become a business card of Chengdu.

  In the little red book, some netizens summed up that "you must visit the night market when you come to Chengdu", and there is a three-color night market called "Pattaya Chengdu is elegant"; There is Chunxi Road Night Market, which is close to downtown and has a prosperous location. Jianshe Road Night Market, which has been on fire for many years; There is a rising star and a variety of Liulangwan Night Market …

  In Wenjiang Liulangwan Night Market, there are hundreds of kinds of delicacies, and the average price is around 10 yuan money. In Sanse Road Night Market, cars are transformed into "trunk markets", and hand-made lemon tea, coffee and wine are all best sellers. In the Yinjialin Night Market in Wuhou District, in addition to food and drinks, there are new ways to play, such as skateboarding and billiards.

  Since August last year, Mr. Liu and three friends have set up stalls in the night market. The four young people are all "slash youths", who work separately during the day and gather in the night market at night. From the past three-color road night market to the present Beihu night market, there are shops of Mr. Liu’s "century-old stall". The stalls mainly sell drinks and fried skewers, and the business hours are from 19: 00 to the early morning of the next day. "More and more people, especially young people, have entered the field of stalls, and there are more and more points. This kind of consumption mode and atmosphere is easy for most young people, especially those who like nightlife. " Mr. Liu said.

  In April, a friend from Chengdu, Zhang Hua, came to Chengdu to play. Among the tourist routes designed by Zhang Hua for his friends, night trips to Jinli were included. "The difference between day and night in Jinli is not generally large. After nightfall, the lanterns in the street are lit up one after another, walking on Qingshiban Road and strolling around the ancient streets; When you are tired, you can go to a small teahouse to drink tea, and watch Sichuan Opera and change your face. "

  A local "Sichuan Opera Face-changing Performance Theater" in Jinli was well received. In order to cooperate with tourists who spend at night, the theater is open until around 10 pm, and various group purchase packages are also launched to increase exposure and increase store sales.

  Of course, there are not only Jinli Old Street in Chengdu at night, but also Kuanzhai Lane, Ocean Taikooli, Jiuyanqiao, Tianfu Panda Tower and Dongmen Wharf. As summer approaches, it is also the first choice for many tourists to visit Jinjiang by boat at night.

  In the upsurge of night consumption, Chengdu’s economy is accelerating its recovery. According to the data of science and technology platform, in March this year, the overall order volume of night consumption in Chengdu (from 18: 00 to 6: 00 the next day) increased by 26.6% year-on-year. At the same time, Chengdu led many night indicators such as catering, hotel accommodation, leisure and entertainment, and film performances, and became a new first-tier city with the largest order volume and transaction volume at night.

  new business forms

  Coffee shop embeds a 24-hour bookstore.

  New formats are constantly emerging.

  In addition to offline night consumption, with the rapid development of mobile Internet, online night consumption is gradually becoming a new trend.

  According to the survey data, 65.7% of consumers will spend at night through online channels. In Chengdu, chain brands including Rosen, 7-11, Xiaochaigou, Jianfu, etc. provide 24-hour service online and offline. Among them, the monthly sales volume of take-out in several convenience stores has exceeded 9999.

  "There are many hotels around us, and tourists will buy drinks or disposable travel supplies at night." An employee of a 24-hour convenience store in Chengdu said that the store usually welcomes the peak of consumption from 8: 00 to 10: 00 at night, especially the surge in take-away orders.

  According to the "2022 China City Convenience Store Index" issued by China Chain Store & Franchise Association, Chengdu has the largest proportion of 24-hour convenience stores, and 80% of convenience stores have realized 24-hour business. Especially in Chengdu, "everything can be taken out" has become a part of young people’s nightlife.

  These are just the epitome of Chengdu’s new night economy model. 24-hour hot pot restaurants, light shows, 24-hour bookstores, 24-hour gyms, and night study rooms … In recent years, more and more forms of night consumption have emerged in Chengdu, catering to people’s new demands for healthy living, immersive experience, and trendy culture.

  In Kuanzhai Lane, Chengdu, a coffee shop that has been operating for more than 10 years is trying to diversify: at night, folk singers are invited to sing, and the menu is set with products other than coffee, such as fruit tea, cakes and black tea. There is also a bookstore, which is open 24 hours a day.

  "The location of this store is a quiet place. There is a terrace on the second floor. It is really good to order a cup of Pu ‘er tea to enjoy the moon color on the terrace and look at the tourists below. There is a bookstore next to it, and a row of bookcases is full against the wall, which is open 24 hours a day. " A consumer said that for this small shop, colleagues are also praised.

  In the 24-hour gym of R29 living space in Sansheng Township, there are many kinds of fitness equipment such as elliptical machine, rowing machine and treadmill. Resident Miss Lu is a frequent visitor here. "Generally, around 8 pm every day, many young people will come to exercise." This is a shared gym, which can be selected according to different pricing categories, such as hours, times and monthly subscription, in which the price of 2-hour fitness is 10 yuan money.

  Good policies

  Chengdu will increase

  Support for night economy

  Among the new first-tier cities, Chengdu is one of the first cities to start to exert its nighttime economy and promote the continuous updating and iteration of consumption scenes. As early as 2019, Chengdu issued the "Implementation Opinions on Developing the City’s Night Economy to Promote Consumption Upgrading" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"). The "Opinions" mentioned that it is necessary to build night tourist attractions, night audio-visual theaters, night parent-child parks, and night-style neighborhoods.

  "This kind of night economy is responding to and catering to the dividends of national policies, and it is also matching the core demands of consumers. The night economy is a very important starting point for boosting the economy and stimulating domestic demand. " Zhu Danpeng, food industry analyst in China and vice president of Guangdong Food Safety Promotion Association, analyzed.

  This year, the night economy is also placed in an important position in Chengdu’s economic development. On March 21st, at the press conference of Sichuan Provincial Government Information Office on "Accelerating the Cultivation of Comfortable Consumer Brands in Shuli", Li Yuping, the person in charge of Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Commerce, introduced that Chengdu would increase its support for the first store economy, night economy, headquarters economy, cultural tourism consumption and exhibition events. Next, Chengdu will also cultivate and create a number of demonstration and characteristic consumption scenarios to create an international consumption destination.

  With the continuous development of night consumption pattern, Chengdu’s night economy will give birth to more possibilities.

  Feng Xingliang, chief representative of the Beijing Representative Office of the International Business Department of North Rhine-westfalen, Germany, said that North Rhine-is a federal state with the largest population and the strongest economic strength in Germany, and it is also one of the federal states with the closest economic and trade ties with China. Up to now, North Rhine-Westphalia has more than 1,600 enterprises in China, accounting for nearly one-third of the total number of German enterprises in China, and more than 1,200 China enterprises have invested in North Rhine-Westphalia.

  "North Rhine-Westphalia is the most intensive place for exhibitions in the world. Emerging industries, scientific research and education, digital economy and other fields are developing rapidly. Welcome China enterprises to come here and talk about cooperation and development." Feng Xingliang said when introducing the economic and trade investment environment and industrial cooperation opportunities in the state.

  Lin Yuan, the first-class inspector of Shandong Provincial Committee of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said in his speech that Shandong is the only province in China with a permanent population and a registered population of over 100 million, and its economic volume ranks third in China. North Rhine-Westphalia is the most populous and densely populated federal state in Germany, with pillar industries such as machinery manufacturing, automobiles and parts, chemicals, energy and so on, which is highly compatible with Shandong industries. "Next year, we plan to organize Shandong enterprises to enter Germany, hold industrial cooperation and exchange activities, promote the deep integration of industries of both sides, and jointly escort Chinese and German enterprises in both directions."

  "There is an old saying in China that’ there is no distance to know each other, and Wan Li is still a neighbor’. Shandong and North Rhine-Westphalia are mutually beneficial and win-win partners. This meeting is a testimony to the friendly cooperation between the two sides." Cui Hongguang, deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce, expressed the hope that the two sides will dig deep into the potential of cooperation, expand cooperation areas, and push economic and trade development to a new level with tangible cooperation results. "We look forward to extensive exchanges and cooperation with Beiweizhou in a series of fields such as high-end equipment, new energy, new materials, high-end chemicals and biomedicine, and work together to build a new highland for industrial development."

  At the event site, Liu Jing, a senior partner of Beijing Haotian Law Firm, introduced the process of setting up a company or representative office in Germany and the key points of laws and regulations. Representatives of Chinese and German enterprises jointly discussed the status quo and prospects, advantages and disadvantages of Sino-German economic cooperation. (End)

Fashion is superficial, but maybe it shouldn’t be so superficial.

Many people believe that the way they dress expresses their unique personality, but in fact, they are only highly in line with the sales needs and brand positioning of the capitalist fashion system. "

This passage comes from Enlightenment of Fashion. The authors of the book, Agnes Rocamora and Annike Mo Like, hit the nail on the head-her views are not new, but they are indeed in line with reality.

Like many things that look beautiful, the fashion industry seems to have made great strides in recent years and penetrated into the lives of most ordinary people, but this may not be the case. (Photo/vision china)

People are not only easy to get lost at crossroads, but also easy to lose their eyes in the process of pursuing fashion. Looking around, the elements of the trend are so crowded and similar. If the whole fashion industry had trampled presbyopia on the soles of their feet yesterday and thought it was a pedantic aristocratic class or a blind choice of the nouveau riche, presbyopia would have regained its crown overnight and become a symbol of elegance and eternity.

So, what are people chasing after?

Marx believes that fashion will become a symbol of a person’s social status whether it is artificial or not, and this symbolic meaning can be a means to create social identity and impression, and it can also "make people find their place in society".

This thinker from Germany once lamented the importance of a coat to his academic research, and even played a decisive role. Otherwise, Das Kapital would be out of our reach. After all, "the reading room of the British Library is not accessible to anyone in a bad street, but a man without a coat is here".

Elegance is out of date.

Christian dior wrote in his notes: "Without elegance, women are left to blindly pursue fashion."

Now, elegance is not so important, it is just the core of the old world fashion circle. Nowadays, people put a lot of out-of-date fashion goods on their bodies and declare their taste with a bunch of repeated letters. When the navel dress is popular, it is hard not to see the belly button on the street; When the over-the-knee boots were hot, the knees disappeared without a trace.

Like many things that look beautiful, the fashion industry seems to have made great strides in recent years and penetrated into the lives of most ordinary people, but this may not be the case.

Nada van den Berg, author of The Power of Fashion, believes that the last decade or more is a period when the fashion circle has become mediocre. On the one hand, some talented designers have died, some have lived in seclusion, some are at a low ebb, and some are hard to achieve much; On the other hand, due to the role of social media, a group of street designers with basically no connotation went out overnight.

This part of the designers intercepted individual factors in the master’s works and amplified them, which gave birth to a batch of explosions and directly affected the high-end fashion brands that were known for their classics and elegance in the past.

Nada said that this phenomenon reached its climax with Virgil Abloh, the designer of Off-White, as the design director of men’s wear at Louis Vuitton, which caused great controversy. Although Virgil has passed away now, his influence on fashion is extremely profound, and it is hard to say whether this influence is good or bad.

For a long time, Virgil’s design ability has been questioned in the industry, and many designers who are trained in the class disdain him. Some people prefer to call him a "genius marketer" because he knows the aesthetics and needs of the public so well that he gives up an important principle as an artist, that is, leading.

In recent years, the fashion industry seems to have made great strides and penetrated into the lives of most ordinary people. /Figure ·unsplash

Obviously, Virgil chose to cater to the public, which also made Off-White one of the most famous street brands in the world. Along with it, there are also trend brands Vetements and Yeezy, three street brand giants, which have triggered many "earthquakes" in the fashion circle.

Before this, luxury brands and street trend brands were incompatible, but now, luxury goods have become "unrecognizable", and they no longer act as the leaders of ideological trends, but began to pursue these street brands. When Louis Vuitton chose a street brand founder to guide men’s clothing around the world, the trend of grassroots counterattack was revealed.

Virgil’s design concept was also questioned. In the speech of Harvard University School of Design in October 2017, Virgil talked about his secret of success: "Change the classic design by 3% and it will become my work." In fact, the "3 Percent Approach" is Virgil’s most important design guiding principle.

In the past, luxury brands and street fashion brands were incompatible, but now, luxury goods have become "unrecognizable". /Figure ·unsplash

On his design list, plagiarism has become a major factor, and he has been deeply involved in plagiarism for many times. The cooperative chair with IKEA looks like twins with the classic chair designed by American designer Paul McCobb; Virgil’s shoes designed for Louis Vuitton look like Air Jordan’s own son. In its Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2020 collection, it is difficult for people with good eyesight to tell the difference between the metal logo-linked blouse and the spring/summer women’s dress released by YSL” 2008 except that one letter is LV and the other letter is YSL.

In a broader sense, the current fashion is dominated by designers like Virgil. In them, fashion is short and perishable, and the transmission of symbols is vividly displayed.

Nada is obviously disappointed with this. She believes that by constantly creating explosions-although this partly reflects some characteristics of this era, the design without connotation will continue to repeat the story of popularity and disappearance, which will only kill their barren design concept and eventually lead to nothingness in the whole fashion industry.

Numéro’s reporter once asked karl lagerfeld which of Virgil, Jacquemus (founder of the eponymous fashion brand) and Jonathan Anderson (fashion director of Luo Yiwei) would choose to spend the time with him in the desert island. Lagerfeld’s answer is-I’d rather commit suicide.

Lagerfeld’s answer undoubtedly added a trace of sadness to the fashion circle of this era. Nada believes that we need talented designers like Rei Kawakubo, McQueen and Yves Saint-Laurent to create a new paradigm.

In the 1970s and 1990s, there were many masters in fashion. Under the background of social thoughts, philosophical thoughts and drastic political and economic changes, the fashion circle as a part of the cultural framework is full of stars. Those clothes that create a paradigm will never play with letters like today’s fashion clothes, or play some boring erotic edge balls, and there will be no terrible sight of thousands of clothes. At that time, it was the time to create masters of art, and now, it is the time to create marketing guru.

The 1970s and 1990s were the times to create masters of art, but now, it is the times to create marketing guru. /Figure ·unsplash

Supreme created money empire with seven letters and a red background, and artists rushed into the gold mine of street brands one after another. Together with online celebrity, stars, designers and crazy consumers, they created a consumption myth with endless co-branded money-this is Virgil’s favorite, and his nickname is "co-branded madman". When black and white stripes (Off-White signs) appear on Rimowa suitcase, this suitcase is not just Rimowa, and the extra money spent by consumers is used for the factory to buy black and white paint.

From bottom to top

Fashion is superficial, but maybe it shouldn’t be so superficial.

For more than a century, top-down has been corrected to bottom-up, that is, the more civilian, grassroots and street things are, the better. Of course, things in the upper class are good, but it’s best not to say them, which goes against the so-called political correctness law all over the world.

But are street and civilian things really the best? What we need to distinguish is whether its goodness comes from itself or from our paranoia. On the other hand, nowadays, all the fashion brands have become identical multiple brothers, from the outline, color matching, letter arrangement to the selling price figures. What is the problem? This situation has also affected luxury brands. Compared with the past, the differences between Louis Vuitton, YSL and Gucci have narrowed dramatically.

All these phenomena point out that the cultural attribute of fashion is collapsing.

Today, the public is undoubtedly the aesthetic leader, designers cater to them, and capital is more open to the public’s preferences. But we have to understand that the aesthetic standard of the public is always based on another public. This kind of nature of being keen on convergence doesn’t even need a brain. People will brainwash themselves. If he wears it, she wears it, and they are all wearing it, then this thing must be good. But when the industry caters to this trend, the result is that the fashion circle may really need to be saved.

Focus on nature-based cultural programs

The Forbidden City in Beijing is a world cultural heritage site. In 2022, on the east side of the Forbidden City, a small ecological green space began to be built against the wall. Covering an area of 150 square meters, the "Jianting Green Space" recorded a total of 37 species of designed planting plants, 42 species of autogenous plants and 29 species of animals.

The creation of biological living space is the field of urban ecology. In the high-density residential environment, the micro-green ecosystem of native plant communities is constructed to provide living space for birds, insects and other creatures. However, the most noteworthy phenomenon in the "Jianting Greenland" project is that the designers actively and massively integrated into cultural resources, corresponding to the principle of authenticity of world heritage, and logically and responsibly combined the "authenticity" of restored landscape with the "artistic conception" of garden construction. Ecological workers identify "plants" in the paintings in the Forbidden City, investigate the "patches" of native plants preserved in imperial gardens such as Yuanmingyuan within the scope of "three mountains and five gardens", and then combine the list of zonal plants in the literature of phytogeography and vegetation ecology-next, focus on corresponding reproduction. The content combination of "Jianting Green Space" goes further than the conventional and traditional idea of "garden flower border", adding native plant elements, and also meets the requirements of heritage sites for the inheritance of historical context and the new expectations for the protection of urban biodiversity.

So, is this a matter of "nature" or should it be attributed to the overall space of "culture"?

In recent years, the concept of "natural-based solutions" has played an important role in coping with global challenges such as climate change, disaster prevention and mitigation, food security, water security and ecosystem degradation. In 2021, the Ministry of Natural Resources of China and the World Conservation Union jointly published the Typical Case of China’s Practice of Nature-based Solutions, which involved the types of ecosystems such as nature, agriculture and cities and the main functions of national land space. Under the background of ecological civilization construction, the restoration means based on nature will gradually and profoundly affect the interpretation of the value of great sites, the continuation of the style of famous cities and even the reproduction of the authenticity of heritage parks.

If the "Jianting Greenland" project is simply summed up as a whimsical biodiversity practice and only focuses on "creating an interesting ecological landscape", it obviously underestimates the efforts and wisdom of all parties. "Jianting Greenland" is the crystallization of cultural heritage protection, natural restoration and public ecological concept, and it is a shining cultural spark in the "natural-based solution", which effectively extends the system path to the establishment of "natural-based cultural solution".

What objectives should be included in the "Nature-based Cultural Program"? One is to reflect the interaction between "nature" and "culture", especially to expand the position and function of natural science in cultural projects; The second is to understand and describe the wisdom and social progress of human beings in sustainable development from the perspective of "culture" of world heritage. This means a brand-new theoretical cross-system, and it is impossible to simply combine or pile up various fields. The knowledge structure and implementation steps of "cultural scheme based on nature" must come from practice test. Thus, the emergence of one "Arrow Pavilion Green Space" after another has a positive significance worthy of attention and encouragement.

What is emotion?

Emotion is one of the most authentic manifestations of human beings. It not only connects us with the world, but also allows us to experience the beauty and meaning of life. Emotions can be joy, sadness, anger, fear and so on, and each emotion has its own unique characteristics and values.

First of all, emotion is our most precious wealth. Only with emotion can we establish contact with others and feel the warmth of love and being loved. Emotion enables us to persevere and face everything bravely when facing difficulties and challenges. Emotion can also let us find happiness and satisfaction in ordinary life, and let us feel the beauty and meaning of life.

Secondly, emotion is a catalyst for our growth. Through emotion, we can better understand ourselves and others, and learn to empathize and respect others. Emotion allows us to learn from setbacks and failures and become stronger and more mature. Emotion can also make us strengthen our faith in the pursuit of our dreams, not afraid of hardships and go forward bravely.

Finally, emotion is the bond of our interpersonal relationship. Emotion enables us to communicate and understand each other better and establish a closer relationship when interacting with others. Emotion can also make us play a greater role in the team and enhance teamwork and cohesion. Through emotional communication, we can better solve contradictions and problems and make our relationship more harmonious.

In a word, emotion is one of the most important components of human beings. It not only connects us with the world, but also allows us to experience the beauty and meaning of life. Emotion is the catalyst of our growth and the bond of our interpersonal relationship. Only with emotion can we truly appreciate the value and significance of live high.

Pioli: I don’t know whether CDK will stay in the team next season; We represent the city of Milan

Live on May 21st, Beijing time, in the early morning of May 21st, in the 36th round of Serie A, AC Milan beat Sampdoria 5-1 at home. After the game, coach Pioli was interviewed.

Pioli said: "It’s good for us to have a game to play, because we have to get rid of the negative impact of the Champions League elimination. We scored a lot of goals in this game, which will only help us move forward in Serie A.. We still have two games to play this season, and then we will get the final result. Obviously, our performance in the Champions League group stage exceeded expectations, and we were eliminated in the group stage last year. On the other hand, our performance in the league failed to meet expectations.

"Our performance in the league was too unstable and we didn’t get many victories like this game. Next we will play against Juve, and we will try our best to prepare and remember that when we play beautiful football, we can do well. In the past two seasons, our journey has been extraordinary, far exceeding anyone’s expectations. We turned the balance sheet positive, helped a young team grow and won the league title, and also entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"It’s true that we represent Milan. We should be competitive in Italy and Europe. We have raised our standards, but some mistakes in Serie A this season have affected our position. I am proud of the decision made by the club, the board of directors and my players, because I know we are trying to improve ourselves. I believe we will learn more from this season than last season, because difficulties will help you become mature and understand things better.

"Gill is a strong player and the team has a solid foundation. The club has done a good job in renewing players’ contracts. We must also remember that there are no substitute players now, and everyone needs to contribute. I am proud of what we have been doing. The peak is beautiful and the trough is painful, but we know what we want to do and who we are, and we will continue to grow and make our fans happy. The team has had ups and downs this season, but the fans have always been positive. They have always stood by us and performed impeccably.

"I don’t know whether moral Kate Lare can stay in the team next season. We haven’t discussed the details yet. People forget too quickly how our young players struggled at the beginning, such as Tonali and Leo. Every player who comes to Milan needs time to realize what it means to play in such a stadium full of expectations and atmosphere. It takes time and patience, and we have both.

"My goal is to change this team."

It takes only 2 seconds to obtain a stable 3D molecular structure?

The generation of three-dimensional conformation of molecules plays a key role in the design of small molecules in materials science, life science and other fields. Traditional methods usually need to predict the distance between atoms, the gradient of distance or the local structure such as twist angle, and then reconstruct its 3D conformation.

In MaXFlow3.6.1, the DMCG component will be launched soon. DMCG is a method to directly predict the atomic scale, that is, to directly generate the three-dimensional coordinates of molecules without considering the intermediate value. This method can adaptively combine bond and atomic information, and refine the generated conformational coordinates through continuous iteration. This method has achieved good performance on both GEOM-QM9 and GEOM-Drugs data sets.

MaXFlow3.6.1 is about to launch the online molecular 3D coordinate generation module DMCG. DMCG can directly predict the three-dimensional coordinates of each atom without providing intermediate values such as bond length and bond angle, and visualize the optimized three-dimensional structure. This method automatically extracts bond and atom information from molecular SMILES, and obtains the lowest energy conformation through iterative optimization. DMCG has achieved excellent performance on both GEOM-QM9 and GEOM-Drugs data sets, and its intrinsic properties such as band gap of the generated conformation are consistent with the real values. This method will provide an effective basis for subsequent property calculation and molecular simulation.

With it, the optimization of reaction conditions will no longer make you "bald"

In the process of preparing new materials, many reaction parameters are usually involved. In order to find the best preparation scheme and obtain the best yield, a lot of experimental verification is often needed, which brings a lot of workload to researchers and is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. How to optimize the experimental design scheme by means of AI, so that researchers can find the best scheme only through a limited number of experiments?

MaXFlow, a molecular simulation and artificial intelligence platform, integrates machine learning algorithm with experimental design (DOE), which helps researchers quickly lock the optimal interval and greatly reduces the number of verification experiments.

In MaXFlow3.6.1, EDBO component will be launched soon, which integrates Bayesian optimization algorithm. Bayesian optimization is a global optimization algorithm based on iterative response surface, which shows excellent performance in the tuning of machine learning model. In recent years, Bayesian optimization has also been applied to the chemical field. Using Bayesian optimization method in experimental design can effectively help optimize process parameters, thus realizing data-driven decision-making.

At this conference, you will also learn about MaXFlow’s rich model building functions.

Visualization of AI generation in novel description

In the article promoting Salt Town, Liu Shen Lei Lei mentioned a scenery description in the novel, and one of them described "the sun soaked in salt".

What should the "salt-soaked sun" look like? My imagination still seems to be insufficient. Now many foreign artificial intelligence software can draw pictures. As long as you give it a few key words, you can generate a new picture. If I make an analogy, what will be the images of "the sun stained with honey" and "the sun fried with peanuts"? Some novels describe landscapes unimaginable to human beings, and robots may be able to draw them now. The visualization of language description seems to be really visually impactful.

With the further development of artificial intelligence, it should be possible to achieve "reverse visualization", that is, to deliver paintings such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet to robots, and the software can reversely generate a set of descriptive words related to the content and style of paintings.

Now there are a variety of AI image generators that use artificial intelligence algorithms to convert text into images. Enter a text prompt or description, and these AI tools can quickly turn your ideas or concepts into visual representations, that is, pictures, in a few seconds. This tool is based on deep learning algorithm, which has been trained on large image data sets and their corresponding descriptions.

With the rapid expansion of training scale and continuous enrichment of experience, this kind of AI image generator will become smarter, more flexible and creative. But at present, this kind of AI generator has only one-way operation, that is, "from text to image". I believe that someone will design the reverse operation in the future, that is, "from image to text". At that time, we can use software to generate a paragraph on a picture, reflecting the content and style of the work. This is actually the beginning of AI’s analysis of art works, even though it may be a bit rough at the beginning.

In addition to the two-way generation of "text images", when the video analysis is deep enough and the video data set is large enough, we can expect the two-way generation of "text video" through training, that is, by writing a prompt text, AI can generate a related video according to the content and style of the prompt; On the contrary, a paragraph of text can be generated according to a video to explain its content and style. The former will create a precedent for automatically generating videos only by using spoken language or words, while the latter is the starting point for analyzing and commenting on film and television AI. If one day, people can automatically generate a film and television work by inputting the script of film literature in spoken or written language, will it still be incredible?

The generation of two-dimensional "text to image" has been realized, can the generation of three-dimensional "text to video" be far behind? If I had the "text-video" generation software, maybe I would be interested in "producing" small movies, such as Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, Marx entering the Confucius Temple, or even more imaginative stories, which are more likely to be very realistic works. And you?

Let’s assume that "words to images" are generated in the forward direction. What would it be like if a group of words ("images to words") generated in the reverse direction were used as hints and then a visual painting was generated in the forward direction? It’s like translating a Chinese poem into English and then translating this English poem back into Chinese. In a few cycles, with the continuous wear and gain of language elements and cultural elements unconsciously, the result of "passing the password" game will be unrecognizable.

Imagine again, using artificial intelligence software, forward generation and reverse generation are repeated, and even shocks are formed. Compared with the initial input, the final output is definitely unrecognizable, but the process of "transcription" and "translation" is still well documented and traceable.

The result of repeated superposition of this forward and reverse generation has undergone a qualitative change and has become a new existence, perhaps a kind of "emergence". Although it is trivial, it is complicated with wear and gain, and you can’t understand its ins and outs. In contrast, the language of modernist writers and painters only experienced low-frequency shocks. Perhaps a sense of innovation was unexpectedly born in it. From the modernist creation such as misty poetry, we can make this inference.

With the appearance of cameras, "image" is no longer unusual, and the value of realistic paintings has plummeted. Modernist and postmodern heroes of all walks of life have found their way out of "unlike", claiming that it is more like in essence. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is rampant. What will our future works of words, images and videos look like?
