Shanghai University relies on the "Qianxue Encyclopedia" AI smart platform to actively explore the application of artificial intelligence in education and scientific research, and has achieved remarkable results. Recently, the platform has successively launched a series of subject-specific large models, the most eye-catching of which is the Shanghai dialect large model "Xiaohu" released on November 9, 2024, marking Shanghai University's progress in the application of artificial intelligence technology and cultural inheritance. An important step has been taken. The launch of "Xiaohu" not only enriches the scenarios for learning and using Shanghainese, but also provides convenient learning tools for non-Shanghaiese speakers, reflecting the spirit of active exploration and innovation in colleges and universities in the era of artificial intelligence.
Recently, Shanghai University has launched a series of subject-specific large models based on its "Qianxue Encyclopedia" AI smart platform, further promoting the application of artificial intelligence in education and scientific research. These new models include the Shanghainese large model, organoid large model, material gene model, etc. The most eye-catching one is the Shanghainese large model "Xiaohu" released on November 9, 2024.
The 1.0 version of the "Little Hu" large model focuses on the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of Shanghainese. It can carry out multiple functions such as reading aloud in Shanghainese and free dialogue between Shanghainese and Mandarin, which greatly enriches the scenarios for learning and using Shanghainese. The launch of this large-scale model is not only an important measure for the protection and inheritance of Shanghainese dialect, but also provides non-Shanghaiese speakers with a convenient tool for learning Shanghainese.
Shanghai University's "Thousands of Knowledge Encyclopedia" AI smart platform has four main modules, namely "Gathering of Thousands of Wisdoms", "Endless Learning", "Responsiveness to Every Asking" and "Creating the Future with Science and Technology". Among them, the "Gathering of Thousands of Intelligences" module is dedicated to improving new productivity through new quality production tools, while the "Endless Learning" module focuses on reshaping new education models through AI + courses. In addition, the "Baixiao SHUer" module has established a unique knowledge base intelligent assistant "Baixiao SHUer" to provide students and teachers with accurate knowledge support. The "Science and Technology for the Future" module provides one-stop large-scale models and computing power open capabilities for scientific research and learning.
All this is due to the "Ziqiang 5000" supercomputing center independently built by Shanghai University. The center uses high-performance computing technology to build an efficient computing cluster and management platform to meet the growing demand for data processing. The platform not only provides tools and interfaces for model training and inference, but also supports the rapid development and deployment of AI projects, ensuring the efficient construction of generative artificial intelligence applications in education and scientific research.
Through the launch of these large models, Shanghai University not only achieved technological breakthroughs, but also made active explorations in cultural inheritance and educational innovation, demonstrating the important role of universities in the era of artificial intelligence.
The efforts of Shanghai University have provided valuable experience for other universities and indicate that artificial intelligence technology will have wider application prospects in the fields of education and cultural protection, and the future is promising.
