加利福尼亚州伯克利, 2024年9月10日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Sensori.Ai是唯一一家将神经科学与生成式AI（GenAI）相结合，改变产品创新、消费者互动和体验的公司。今天宣布了由首席执行官兼创始人A.K. Pradeep博士及Sensori.Ai专家团队推出的最新著作《神经AI：如何利用神经科学驱动的生成式AI赢得消费者的心智》（简称《神经AI》）。该书为创新、信息传递和营销领域的实践者提供了实用建议，探讨了如何将生成式AI从“通用AI”转变为真正的“生成式AI”，以在市场中获得竞争优势。通过真实案例研究和使用场景，《神经AI》揭示了如何应用于消费者潜意识的实际方法，而在潜意识中，95%的决策是被做出的。该书由Wiley出版社出版，联合作者包括Anirudh Acharya博士、Rajat Chakravarty博士和Ratnakar Dev，目前已在 Amazon和所有主要书店有售。自2022年底成立以来，Sensori.Ai开发了多种解决方案，将神经科学原理和突破性算法融入生成式AI，以创建独特的消费者理解、产品创新和感官设计平台。该公司率先使用独特的潜意识数据（即由消费者决策潜意识所处理的数据）来实现这些突破。例如，Sensori.Ai创建了首个基于神经AI的算法，用于帮助创造香水、风味和音乐。迄今为止，该公司已帮助开发了20多种新产品，参与了超过100个广告活动、包装设计和品牌重塑，合作对象包括消费品、快速消费品和零售领域的大多数全球知名品牌。《神经AI》一书深入介绍了这些解决方案背后的神经科学原理和研究，并以透明的方式揭示了这些算法的创建过程及其遵循的规则。“毫无疑问，生成式AI正在彻底改变我们生活的每个部分。Apple Intelligence只是这场革命的开端。《神经AI》展示了记忆结构和转化神经科学如何将人类重新置于基于生成式AI设计的核心位置，”Pradeep博士表示。“例如，每个产品制造商都希望他们的消费者渴望他们的产品。将欲望的神经科学算法嵌入生成式AI中，能够创造出激动人心的产品设计和市场信息，深刻打动消费者的潜意识，而这正是推动购买决策的强大力量。”95%的欲望和决策根植于潜意识中。通过利用潜意识的架构，并有选择地使用为其提供数据流的信息，生成式AI算法可以被训练得更加高效且具有创造性。这种回归神经科学为基础的人本主义生成式AI——也就是“神经AI”这个术语的由来——既是本书的核心论点，也是Sensori.Ai的重点方向。基于关键神经科学原理训练的生成式AI，并结合专有算法，能够快速开发和优化产品概念、包装、定价、信息传递等关键要素，从而以深刻、个性化且符合品牌导向的方式吸引消费者。Sensori.Ai的解决方案专注于使用神经AI满足四个特定的业务需求：消费者理解（包括神经图像分析、原型、价格敏感性、个性和倾向）；产品和品牌创新（包括产品特性、产品专利和知识产权保护、产品定价、产品推广和产品量预测）；感官创新（包括香味设计、风味设计、音乐设计和包装视觉设计）；以及欲望创造（包括广告、信息传递、欲望评分、基于欲望的信息重新设计和基于欲望的产品展示页面重新设计）。《神经AI》详细介绍了这四个领域中的所有科学和方法，这些内容也包含在Sensori.Ai平台和解决方案套件中。“如今AI无处不在，但人们能获得的实际操作信息却少之又少，”联合利华美妆与健康事业部总裁Priya Nair表示。“《神经AI》改变了这一现状。书中的亮点在于它还涵盖了消费者神经科学。对于任何想深入了解这项惊人技术以及人类大脑如何运作的人来说，这本书都是必备之选。”《神经AI》基于Pradeep博士在消费者神经科学领域数十年的经验，延续了他在《AI for Marketing and Product Innovation》（2019）和《The Buying Brain》（2010）中的研究。Pradeep博士是两次成功的硅谷企业家，拥有超过90项专利，并曾创立NeuroFocus（后被尼尔森收购），为消费者研究提供神经学测试。他还创立了BoardVantage（后被纳斯达克收购），为董事会和高管提供SaaS董事会治理软件。欲了解更多关于Sensori.Ai及《神经AI：如何利用神经科学驱动的生成式AI赢得消费者的心智》的信息，请访问sensori.ai。该书可通过Amazon在以下地区购买：荷兰沙特阿拉伯南非埃及法国巴西西班牙印度意大利墨西哥英国新加坡瑞典土耳其关于Sensori.Ai Sensori.Ai是全球唯一一家将生成式人工智能与人类潜意识数据相结合，开发品牌触达消费者并吸引其内心深处欲望的新方式的公司。该公司由连续创业者、消费者神经科学专家A.K.

Annual ranking highlights top-performing stocks' roles in energy security and electrification, and a shift from growth to value investingToronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 10, 2024) - Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today announced its sixth annual TSX30®, a ranking of the top 30 performing companies based on dividend-adjusted share price performance over a three-year period. The 2024 list underscores how these companies are driving advancements in sectors such as energy, electrification, and critical minerals, while delivering strong investor returns and shaping Canada's economy.Topping the 2024 TSX30 is Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (TSX:HPS.A), a company that enables electrification through its broad range of dry-type transformers, power quality products, and related magnetics, with a dividend-adjusted share price that has increased 928% over the past three years. Collectively, TSX30 companies represent over $380 billion in market capitalization, having added an impressive $210 billion during that period — nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars in value creation — while achieving an average dividend-adjusted share price appreciation of 234%."This year's TSX30 reflects the leadership and innovation of Canadian companies as Canada transitions to a cleaner energy future," said Loui Anastasopoulos, CEO, Toronto Stock Exchange. "These top performers are shaping the future of Canada's economy and ensuring our strengths in energy and mining align with the emerging technology sector to keep Canada competitive on the global stage."Adrian Thomas, CEO, Hammond Power Solutions, added, "Being named the top company in the 2024 TSX30 underscores both our commitment to driving progress in the energy sector and our team's ability to adapt and thrive in dynamic markets. We are proud to play a role in the energy transition space and strive to meet the evolving needs of a changing world."Sector leadership: Interconnected industries driving growthThe 2024 ranking is dominated by three sectors - Oil & Gas, Industrial Products & Services, and Mining - accounting for 25 of the 30 companies on the list. This strong representation reflects the interconnected nature of these industries and their continued contributions to Canada's economic prosperity, particularly as Canada navigates energy security in the current environment and the transition to cleaner sources of energy.Energy: Balancing security and innovationEnergy companies feature prominently on the 2024 TSX30, representing over half of the issuers. Amid global geopolitical tensions, these companies play an important role in ensuring a reliable energy supply. Athabasca Oil Corp. (TSX: ATH), for example, is a notable contributor to current energy needs while reducing the carbon intensity of its operations through transformational technologies.Industrials and mining: Supporting the energy transitionThe Industrial Products & Services sector, which includes companies like Hammond Power Solutions, can provide support and infrastructure for energy transition and electrification projects. The Mining sector is also growing, driven by demand for critical minerals needed for electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, and low-carbon and renewable energy. Half of this year's TSX30 mining companies focus on base metals crucial for these technologies. Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO), a uranium production company and a pure-play investment in the growing demand for nuclear energy, has seen renewed interest, underscoring the importance of critical minerals in the shift to a low-carbon economy.Technology: Catalyst for navigating energy transitionTechnology companies are a driving force behind the growth across energy and related industrial sectors. Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS), a company that offers solutions for grid stability and EV infrastructure, ranked second in the 2024 TSX30. Celestica's 706% dividend-adjusted share price increase emphasizes the importance of technology in helping navigate the transition to a lower-carbon future.Investor trends: A shift towards value investingThe 2024 TSX30 indicates a changing investor focus from growth investing to value investing, with a preference for companies with positive cash flow and a history of consistent dividends. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of the 30 companies paid dividends, averaging a 2.8% yield. This is significantly higher compared to the eight dividend-paying companies on the 2021 TSX30, which had an average yield a full percentage point lower. This trend reflects the appeal of stable, cash-generating companies in a volatile market.Other highlights from the 2024 ranking include:- Graduations from TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) to TSX: Nine of this year's TSX30 companies graduated from TSXV, showcasing how this unique two-tiered ecosystem can nurture emerging businesses in growing their market capitalization and investor exposure.- Representation on leading indices: 17 of the companies are included on either the S&P/TSX Composite Index* or S&P/TSX 60 Index*, enhancing their visibility among investors globally.- Consistent performers: 14 of the 2024 TSX30 companies have appeared in previous TSX30 rankings (since 2019), with their collective dividend-adjusted share prices up 210% and market capitalization rising 147% during that time.For detailed results and further information about the ranking methodology, visit www.tsx.com/tsx30.The 2024 TSX30 ranking:RankingCompany NameTickerThree-year dividend-adjusted share price performance1Hammond Power Solutions Inc.HPS.A928%2Celestica Inc.CLS706%3Athabasca Oil CorporationATH429%4CES Energy Solutions Corp.CEU335%5TerraVest Industries Inc.TVK289%6NuVista Energy Ltd.NVA257%7Bird Construction Inc.BDT245%8MEG Energy Corp.MEG226%9Secure Energy Services Inc.SES216%10International Petroleum CorporationIPCO215%11China Gold International Resources Corp.

Hong Kong companies received numerous enquiries and orders from potential customers during the event- The event collaborated with more than 30 renowned mainland KOLs on three major e-commerce platforms, with live-streaming e-commerce promotions for more than 60 Hong Kong brands, demonstrating mainland consumers’ strong confidence in the city’s goods- The HKTDC is actively preparing for the next edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival to help more local SMEs enter the mainland e-commerce marketHONG KONG, Sept 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and fully supported by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), concluded successfully in late August, helping local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increase brand awareness and gain practical experience in expanding into the mainland market via e-commerce channels. The event received an enthusiastic response, with more than 90 million impressions on e-commerce discussion forums and official website.Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government, said: "The global e-commerce market continues to grow rapidly. In particular, the mainland has been the leading online retail market for 11 consecutive years, becoming an engine of growth for Hong Kong SMEs to expand their businesses. The HKSAR Government put forward a number of initiatives in the 2023 Policy Address to encourage and assist local SMEs in developing e-commerce businesses and seizing market opportunities. We are delighted that the inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival was well received and gained the robust support of local businesses, motivating more SMEs to participate in e-commerce businesses. The Government will continue to support SMEs through various measures, including the SME Export Marketing Fund and ‘E-commerce Easy’, so as to encourage SMEs to upgrade and restructure their operations and develop e-commerce businesses, thereby promoting the development of new quality productive forces.”Stephen Liang, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival has concluded after a successful one-month run, providing local SMEs with a practical platform to master the art of e-commerce. The event has also significantly enhanced SMEs’ brand awareness, building a solid foundation for their future development in the mainland e-commerce market. Following the event, many SMEs have expressed interest in participating in future Hong Kong Shopping Festivals, demonstrating their strong interest in the e-commerce sector and willingness to tap into the enormous potential of the mainland market. This positive response has given us the impetus to organise the event again next year.”Throughout August, the HKTDC, led by Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government, collaborated with celebrities and influencers to promote the Hong Kong Shopping Festival through various strategically planned digital marketing channels, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, JD and others, boosting visits to the official website and, in turn, to the SMEs’ own online stores.Understanding live-streaming and other techniques in mainland marketDuring the festival, several SMEs kickstarted live-streaming e-commerce in the mainland market, including Markwill Solutions Limited, the exclusive distributor of Gold Energy Snail Synergy, a Korean skincare and cosmetic brand, in Hong Kong. The company applied to run promotions on JD as the starting point. “The procedures were slightly complex, but luckily the HKTDC was on hand to help,” said Markwill Solutions Manager Man Leung.As a beginner in the mainland e-commerce field, Mr Leung watched numerous live-streaming sessions to explore the broadcast style of KOLs, learn the industry jargon and understand the discount strategies in the mainland market. He found out that while the popular term in Hong Kong is “buy 2 get 1 free”, the mainland market uses terms such as “expected paid price”, which was completely new to him. He also became aware that a key factor in driving sales of skincare and cosmetic products is the location of consumers.“The weather in the southern, middle and northern regions [of Mainland China] is different, as is the people’s need for cosmetics,” Mr Leung said. He also noticed that the KOLs who partnered with the brand were all from the northern regions, while customers were mainly from the northern and central regions. This made him realise the importance of the company conducting more research into how regional and seasonal factors could influence the shopping desires of customers.Cross International Limited runs First Edible Nest, which sells dried seafood. The company had already begun exploring e-commerce, hiring KOLs to conduct live-streaming sessions in the mainland market since the pandemic in 2020. However, owing to its limited budget, the company found it hard to invite renowned KOLs to work with them. “This time, the HKTDC was able to connect us with top-tier KOLs,” said Manager Eddy Lo. During the festival period, six live-streaming sessions on Tmall and Douyin were conducted. “Two of the sessions on Tmall were excellent, generating RMB300,000 in revenue. I was pleased with the sales figures.” Kiu Fung Hong Limited, which sells food products such as potato chips, also achieved encouraging sales figures during the Hong Kong Shopping Festival. CEO Ellis Wong said the company had been selling its products on JD. When it came to the Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August, “comparing our average monthly orders from January to July, the August orders soared by 135 times,” he said. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the promotions run during the festival and Mr Wong said he hoped the event could be held regularly to continue the momentum. He encouraged other SMEs to participate in the next Hong Kong Shopping Festival to gain experience in how to develop the mainland market via e-commerce channels.Promotion boost online impressions, influencers showcase Hong KongThe Hong Kong Shopping Festival promoted online-offline integration with 10 million impressions on the Xiaohongshu platform. The Hong Kong Shopping Festival partnered with a diverse group of celebrities and influencers for engaging promotional activities, with the likes of Moses Chan, Grace Chan, Kenneth Ma and Hu Ke adding vibrancy to the event. In addition, more than 30 renowned mainland KOLs, including Li Jiaqi and Chen Jie Kiki, conducted over 30 live-streaming e-commerce sessions on three major platforms, endorsing over 60 brands by planting seeds to boost brand awareness. Influencers also showcased Hong Kong's cultural customs, distinctive foods and urban landscapes through offline city walks, drawing significant interest and generating discussions. Food and health supplement products garnered particular attention during the promotional campaign, reflecting the strong confidence of mainland consumers in the reputation and quality assurance of Hong Kong goods.The Hong Kong Shopping Festival aligns with a measure in the 2023 Policy Address to assist Hong Kong's SMEs in expanding into the Mainland China market via e-commerce channels with the slogan “Unveiling a New Lifestyle, Curated by Hong Kong". “Unveiling a New Lifestyle” refers to launching new products in the market and the aspiration to enrich people's lives through these products. “Curated by Hong Kong”, meanwhile, reflects the meticulously selected quality products from Hong Kong that are being made available to mainland consumers.The first Hong Kong Shopping Festival gathered more than 230 brands, showcasing 500 products and exclusive discounts in six major categories: apparel and accessories, personal care and cosmetics, home and living, classic food, smart gadgets and health supplements. The event not only helped Hong Kong’s SMEs leverage the customer base and traffic on mainland e-commerce platforms and increase brand awareness, but also helped them gain practical experience in how to expand into the huge mainland e-commerce market.Hong Kong Shopping Festival Website: https://bit.ly/4fR29clPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4dUZvBdThe Hong Kong Shopping Festival invited renowned Mainland China KOLs to host live-streaming e-commerce sessions, resulting in a very enthusiastic response.The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the HKTDC, achieved total impressions of more than 90 million on e-commerce discussion forums and official website.HKSAR Financial Secretary Paul Chan showed his support in a promotional video to promote the Hong Kong Shopping Festival.
