We are proud to share that a brilliant student team—supervised by Ir. Dr. Yuk Ming Tang, Principal Investigator of RIVRT—has won the Merit Prize in the Information Technology category at the 11th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (2025)! 🎉

The award-winning project, titled 「讀寫易AI」DyslexAI, leverages artificial intelligence to support children with dyslexia by providing highly accurate, personalized training through an intelligent platform. The system achieves an impressive 99.5% classification accuracy using deep learning models (CNN) and multi-modal data analysis, offering a non-invasive and effective way to enhance learning outcomes, especially for those with special educational needs.
