HKUST researchers have proposed the GARDO system to address the "reward hacking" problem in AI painting.  The system enhances the quality and diversity of artworks while preventing model speculation through gating regularization, adaptive criterion adjustment, and a diverse reward mechanism.  

HKUST researchers proposed KV-Embedding technology, which redistributs the information flow within the model to enable AI to understand long texts without retraining, thereby improving retrieval and semantic understanding.  

At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Daimon Robotics, an HKUST-incubated startup co-founded by MAE Professor Emeritus Prof. Michael WANG Yu and Dr. DUAN Jianghua, unveiled the DM-EXton2, the world's first haptic feedback teleoperation data acquisition system.  

Co-organized by HKUST and various institutions, the "Class at Sea" Marine Science for Global Citizens Series 2 was held at HKUST.  Scientists from the "Shenhai-1" vessel's 93rd expedition participated in a live stream with 300 primary and secondary school students in HK and Qingdao, introducing them to the Indian Ocean seabed ecosystems to spark enthusiasm in ocean exploration. 

HKUST has secured funding for 13 projects in the 2025/26 Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) and Research Impact Fund (RIF) under University Grants Committee's Research Grants Council, with grants totaling more than HK$77 million.  The achievement places HKUST first among all UGC-funded universities.

HKUST will host the inaugural Nobel Heroes@HKUST event on Jan 13, bringing together five Nobel laureates to engage in thought-provoking and in-depth dialogues with students that reveal the human stories behind groundbreaking discoveries and inspire the next generation of innovators with scientists' passion for knowledge and creativity.  

CIVL Chair Professor Prof. SU Hui, alongside researchers from the National Satellite Meteorological Center, Guangzhou Tropical Marine Meteorological Institute, and Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) have developed a Deep Diffusion Model (DDMS) based on Fengyun meteorological satellite data. 

A team led by ECE Assoc. Prof. ZHANG Jun and ECE Asst. Prof. MENG Zili tested if the GPT-5.2-equipped Rokid smart AI glasses could help them achieve high scores during the "Computer Communication Networks" exam. They achieved an astonishing score of 92.5, demonstrating the AI glasses’ capability for deep reasoning in highly complex tasks.
