Universal Beijing Resort, the fifth Universal Studios theme park globally, has embarked on a cross-border cooperation with Honor of Kings, a popular Chinese video game. With its extensive influence and user base, Honor of Kings presents a unique opportunity for cultural integration and brand influence at the resort. The marketing strategy centers around creating an immersive interactive experience by blending international theme park elements with local Chinese IP. Themed activities, including a hero parade and meet-and-greet events, along with exclusive merchandise and food offerings, aim to provide visitors with a culturally rich experience. This collaboration has attracted a wider audience, generated positive feedback, and garnered significant social media attention. However, maintaining cultural integration and staying ahead of competing local IP collaborations pose ongoing challenges. The resort must continue to innovate, adapt to visitor preferences, and deliver an extraordinary experience to sustain its competitive advantage in the Chinese-themed park market.

Facing the impact of COVID-19, the hospitality industry has witnessed a shift in customer demographics towards family customers, specifically those with children. Shangri-La Qiantan Shanghai aims to stand out from the competition by offering a unique and memorable experience that caters to this new customer base. Through customer segmentation and product differentiation, the hotel has partnered with popular IPs, such as Sesame Street, to provide a range of child-friendly activities and themed rooms. With a customer-centric approach and visual impact, the hotel successfully attracts family customers, resulting in higher occupancy rates and positive reviews. However, the hotel must continue to innovate and adapt to changing trends to maintain its competitive advantage and address the initial investment challenges associated with creating child-friendly amenities.

Psychology, Computer Science and Neuroscience have a history of shared questions and inter-related advances. Recently, new technology has enabled those fields to move from “toy” small-scale approaches to the study of language learning from raw sensory input and to do so at a large scale that constitutes daily life. The three primary goals of my research are 1) to quantify the statistical regularities in the real world, 2) to examine the underlying computational mechanisms operated on the statistical data, and 3) to apply the findings from basic science to real-world applications. In this talk, I will present several projects in my research lab to show that the advances in human learning and machine learning fields place us at the tipping point for powerful and consequential new insights into mechanisms of (and algorithms for) learning.

Generative AI challenges Higher Education institutions, educators and their practices to critically re-appraise the nature of what should and could be assessed. Gen AI can support equity and enhance new assessment designs. However, it also challenges us to reconsider what is valued, who is involved and what assessment can reliably reveal. This workshop will discuss the Australian Higher Education response to generative AI and explore the opportunities and challenges in relation to assessment.
