人工智能技术已在许多领域得到应用，在公众关注的问题上发挥着越来越重要的作用。
A group of students at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in central China’s Hubei Province has developed an AI system that restores old photographs to help families find their loved ones who had gone missing 10 to 20 years ago.
位于湖北省的华中科技大学（HUST）的一群学生开发了一种人工智能系统，该系统可以恢复旧照片，帮助家庭找到10到20年前失踪的亲人。

团队成立于2020年，发起人盛建中当时是华中科技大学软件学院的博士生。

不过，研发图像修复算法需要构建一个庞大的数据库，光靠一个人的力量远远不够，很多同学看到盛建中做的事情，也主动加入进来，写代码，测试算法。

盛建中和团队花了半年的时间集中攻关，终于研发出一套图像修复人工智能算法，解决了寻亲照片中“人脸不够清晰”这一核心问题。

网络流行语“rizz”当选2023牛津年度词汇
双语新闻
Derived from the word "charisma," "rizz" refers to a person's ability to attract a romantic partner through "style, charm or attractiveness," dictionary publisher Oxford University Press (OUP) said in its announcement Monday. The word received more than 32,000 votes from the public, OUP added. "Rizz" soared in popularity earlier this year, after Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was asked by Buzzfeed what the secret to his rizz was. His answer "I have no rizz whatsoever. I have limited rizz."
牛津大学出版社4日表示，“rizz”以32000多票当选年度词汇，这个词源自“charisma（魅力）”，指的是一个人通过“风格、魅力或吸引力”吸引情感伴侣的能力。今年早些时候，《蜘蛛侠》演员汤姆·霍兰德在接受Buzzfeed采访时被问到他的“rizz(魅力)”秘密是什么，“rizz”一词从此走红。霍兰德回答：“我没有任何魅力，我的魅力有限。”
The publisher of the Oxford English Dictionary added that the word can also be used as a verb, in the phrase "rizz up," meaning to attract or chat up a person. While word of the year contenders do not need to be new words, they must have a significance to the year in question. OUP said its 2023 shortlist was chosen to "reflect the mood, ethos, or preoccupations of the year."
牛津大学出版社称，“rizz”也可以用作动词，短语“rizz-up”表示吸引或搭讪一个人。虽然年度词汇的候选词不一定要是新词，但必须对所讨论的年份具有重要意义。牛津大学出版社表示，其2023年年度词汇的入围名单是为了“反映今年的情绪、风气或关注点”。
OUP's experts shortlisted eight words, which were put into competing pairs for the public to vote on. From the resulting four finalists, the experts did one last analysis, before picking "rizz" as the winner. The other finalists were "prompt," the instruction given to an artificial intelligence program that influences the content it creates; "situationship," which means a romantic partnership that is not considered to be formal or established; and lastly, "Swiftie" - the name given to an avid fan of singer Taylor Swift.
入选牛津大学出版社年度词汇的单词共八个，这些单词被分成两组，供公众投票。专家们对最终入围的四个单词进行分析，最终选出“rizz”作为2023年年度词汇。最终入围名单还包括“prompt(提示词)”，即对人工智能程序发出的指令，影响或决定其生成的内容；“situationship（状态恋情）”，意思是一种非正式的、尚未交往的情侣关系；“Swiftie”——歌手泰勒·斯威夫特的狂热粉丝的名字。
