Beijing International Studies University (BISU) recently held its first corpus technology competition, aiming to promote exploration in the "Artificial Intelligence + Language" field.

This competition featured three tracks: corpus construction, corpus analysis, and corpus application, covering various types of corpora such as text, voice, video, and multimodal data. Since its launch, the event attracted 83 teams with 394 students from the university.

Participants give presentations on their projects at the competition.

Participants were encouraged to draw on authentic corpora as the core medium, while integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI, natural language processing, machine translation, text mining, and data visualization analysis.

The wide variety of submissions spanned multiple thematic areas, from film subtitles, cultural and tourism communication to governmental documents, international relations, interpreting corpora, and traditional culture. These projects showcased the students' awareness of corpus usage and their technical application skills in language research, translation practice, cultural communication, and regional studies.

Following a rigiorous review process, the competition awarded three first prizes, nine second prizes, 14 third prizes, and several corpus contribution awards. Six outstanding teams presented their projects at the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum's artificial intelligence exhibition.

BISU will further explore the "AI + Language" interdisciplinary field, continuously improving its digital and intelligent talent cultivation system to cultivate more talents with high language proficiency, technical skills, and international perspectives.
