Into the Metaverse,93頁ppt介紹元宇宙概念、應用、趨勢,Wunderman Thompson Intelligence,2021.11
Einmahl, de Haan and Zhou (2016, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B, 78(1), 31-51) recently introduced a stochastic model that allows for heteroscedasticity of extremes. The model is extended to the situation where the observations are serially dependent, which is crucial for many practical applications. We prove a local limit theorem for a kernel estimator for the scedasis function, and a functional limit theorem for an estimator for the integrated scedasis function. We further prove consistency of a bootstrap scheme that allows to test for the null hypothesis that the extremes are homoscedastic. Finally, we propose an estimator for the extremal index governing the dynamics of the extremes and prove its consistency. All results are illustrated by Monte Carlo simulations. An important intermediate result concerns the sequential tail empirical process under serial dependence.
Intro to the Metaverse,Newzoo Trend Report 2021,對元宇宙概念、結構、生態、為何突然爆發等進行了詳細介紹。
Along with the massive growth of the Internet from the 1990s until now, various innovative technologies have been created to bring users breathtaking experiences with more virtual interactions in cyberspace. Many virtual environments with thousands of services and applications, from social networks to virtual gaming worlds, have been developed with immersive experience and digital transformation, but most are incoherent instead of being integrated into a platform. In this context, metaverse, a term formed by combining meta and universe, has been introduced as a shared virtual world that is fueled by many emerging technologies, such as fifth-generation networks and beyond, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence (AI). Among such technologies, AI has shown the great importance of processing big data to enhance immersive experience and enable human-like intelligence of virtual agents. In this survey, we make a beneficial effort to explore the role of AI in the foundation and development of the metaverse. We first deliver a preliminary of AI, including machine learning algorithms and deep learning architectures, and its role in the metaverse. We then convey a comprehensive investigation of AI-based methods concerning six technical aspects that have potentials for the metaverse: natural language processing, machine vision, blockchain, networking, digital twin, and neural interface, and being potential for the metaverse. Subsequently, several AI-aided applications, such as healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, and gaming, are studied to be deployed in the virtual worlds. Finally, we conclude the key contribution of this survey and open some future research directions in AI for the metaverse.
9月16日,由北京師范大學新聞傳播學院、光明日報智庫研究與發布中心主辦的“第35期京師中國傳媒智庫發布”會議在北京師范大學京師大廈舉行。活動中,清華大學新聞與傳播學院新媒體研究中心發布了《2020-2021年元宇宙發展研究報告》。
報告分為《理念篇》《產業篇》《風險篇》,聚焦于2021年大熱的“元宇宙”(metaverse)概念,通過對其的概念梳理、理論構建、行業分析,全面解讀這一互聯網行業新風口的深刻內涵,并研判其發展趨勢和潛在風險。
其中,《理念篇》討論了元宇宙誕生的過程和歷史契機、元宇宙的概念界定、虛擬和現實的關系、元宇宙的價值來源、多維時空的搭建等相關的理論問題,并對元宇宙的運作模式分物理、地理、倫理、事理、心理5個部分進行了論述。
《產業篇》討論了元宇宙的技術基礎,分析了元宇宙的行業生態以及中、美、日、韓四國的元宇宙行業發展現狀,最后提出了元宇宙指數體系。
《風險篇》從生產力、穩健性、組織結構、服務功能、適應性、公平性六大為對元宇宙產業生態健康度進行了多維評估,指出目前元宇宙處于“亞健康”狀態,進一步從輿論、技術、資本、倫理和法律規范等層面對元宇宙產業發展十大風險點進行了討論。
