On behalf of the school, Wang Dinghua gave a sincere gratitude to friends from all walks of life who care and support the artificial intelligence and human language key laboratories of Beijing Foreign Languages ​​University. He pointed out that artificial intelligence is an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial changes, and it will definitely stimulate the huge energy of education in promoting the progress of human society and the development of human civilization. The combination of artificial intelligence and education is unstoppable. The application of artificial intelligence is concentrated in the field of education, especially language recognition and translation. In this context, the establishment of "Artificial Intelligence and Human Language Key Laboratory" has emerged as a response. It coincides with important practical significance and long -term historical significance. Essence We will grasp the direction, improve the position, conduct in -depth research, and make a difference.

First, serve the national strategy. my country attaches great importance to the in -depth integration of artificial intelligence and education. In recent years, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and Ministry of Education have introduced a series of plans for the development of artificial intelligence and accelerating the application of artificial intelligence in the field of education. The reform of the model and teaching method, and build a new type of education system that includes intelligent learning and interactive learning. It is necessary to accelerate the innovative application of artificial intelligence in the field of education and build an intelligent, network, personalized, and lifelong education system. Beiwai actively responded to the requirements of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education, served the national strategy, carefully prepared and carefully planned. After a year of brewing and preparation, the artificial intelligence and human language key laboratory of Beijing Foreign Languages ​​University was formally established.

Second, use the advantages of the North. Beiwai is currently approved to open 101 foreign languages, covering all the official language and main languages ​​of the establishment of diplomatic relations with China. It has unique advantages in language teaching and research. Schools focus on multi -disciplinary and multi -field discipline construction, talent training, science science Studies, strive to make foreign languages, follow -up, follow -up, strong language, good Chinese language, good language, compatibility and educational, serving the country, contributing to society, achieving life, pursuing excellence, and realizing first -class. In the process of carrying out artificial intelligence and human language research, we must give play to the school's foreign language advantages and multi -disciplinary advantages, use the accumulation of deep language teaching research, the tradition of excellent information foreign language teaching, the practice of leading modern remote foreign language education , A first -class corpus research accumulation, actively do a good job of the university's foreign language tone league alliance, conscientiously summarize the pilot experience of the artificial intelligence of the Ministry of Education to promote the construction of teachers, and continuously expand language and brain scientific research, so that artificial intelligence and human language key laboratories are here here. Based on deepening research and truly play a role.

Third, focus on cutting -edge topics. Based on the new era, Beiwai has the responsibility and confidence to seize the opportunities of artificial intelligence and actively respond to the challenges of artificial intelligence. The laboratory will focus on cutting -edge topics in related fields, adopt scientific methods, explore the physiological mechanisms and internal laws of foreign language learning, and strive to promote multi -language brain science experiment research, big data -driven language intelligent teaching modeling and application research, cross -language multi -mode multi -mode Research on the research of natural language processing, research on life intelligence supported by "brain health and wisdom". The school will give the laboratory more support. The laboratory will make more deeper research.

Fourth, explore new mechanisms. Based on the construction principle of "openness, collaboration, intelligence, first -class", relying on cross -disciplinary think tanks, focusing on the strategy of national science and education, we will gather talents at home and abroad, and strive to become a domestic and world -leading research highland in China and the world. Construction and cooperation and mutual assistance with brothers colleges, HKUST Xunfei, Huawei Group and other coexistence and cooperation. The establishment of this laboratory in Beijing is not for profit. In the future, if there are scientific and technological achievements, we will continue to use it to explore unknown and communicate the world. At the same time, I also hope that the laboratory will gradually run a big office and become a scientific research platform for all teachers and students of Beiwai.
