Congratulations to the research student Nga-Yin Dik who is supervised by Dr Chris Lo, recently won the Best Paper Runner-up Award and received a cash prize of up to HK$20,000 at the PolyU Research Student Conference (PRSC) 2023. The conference was organised by the Graduate School (GS), and held on 8-9 May 2023 on campus.
Of the 338 submissions, only 6 papers were selected for best paper. Michel's paper, titled “Developing a Prediction Model for Virtual Garment Fitting Size with Psychographic Characteristics and 3D Body Measurements”, proposes the use of a prediction model for virtual garment fitting based on an artificial neural network (ANN) to investigate the variations in the ease preferences of end users through their 3D body measurements and psychographic characteristics for wearing garments, and also a generative adversarial network (GAN) model to visualise wore avatars with fast and accurate results.
About the PolyU Research Student Conference (PRSC 2023)
Aiming to promote innovative and high-quality research, the PRSC is a flagship research student conference that provides research postgraduate (RPg) students and the students of the College of Undergraduate Researchers and Innovators (CURI) at PolyU with the opportunity to present their research work and findings. The PRSC also provides an excellent opportunity for students from different disciplines to network with their peers, and establishes a collaborative and active research community at PolyU. The theme of the PRSC is “Research with Impact”. The organising committee is now inviting submissions that describe original research. RPg students of all disciplines at all stages of study and CURI students are welcome to submit papers on any topic.
