From June 12 to 14, the 6th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Algorithms (CAIBDA 2026) was hosted by our university, organized by the School of Artificial Intelligence, and cosponsored by Management and Science University (Malaysia) and Tianjin “Intelligent Computing and Biometrics” International Joint Research Center. Gao Faming, Member of the University Party Committee Standing Committee and Vice President, attended and delivered an opening address. Participants included trainees from the Binhai New Area Newquality Productivity Training Program, teachers and students from relevant schools, and more than 200 delegates worldwide. The conference adopted a hybrid mode combining onsite presentations and live online streaming, attracting over 15 000 viewers via livebroadcast platforms.

On behalf of the university, Gao Faming extended a warm welcome to distinguished leaders, guests and scholars at home and abroad. He pointed out that artificial intelligence constitutes a strategic technology leading a new round of scientifictechnological revolution and industrial transformation. Taking this highlevel international conference as an opportunity, the university will stand at a higher starting point, vigorously promote indepth industryuniversityresearch integration and deepen universityenterprise cooperation, and keep boosting innovation and development in artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms. He wished the conference every success.

Bringing together scholars from home and abroad, the conference featured keynote speeches, oral presentations, poster exhibitions and award ceremonies for indepth academic exchanges. In the keynote session, five top scholars — Professor Zhang Daqing from Peking University, Professor Wang Jianmin from Tsinghua University, Professor Shan Caifeng from Nanjing University, Professor Gao Zan from Tianjin University of Technology, and Senior Engineer Li Peishun from the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin — delivered insightful presentations covering cuttingedge directions including wireless sensing, industrial big data, noncontact vitalsign monitoring, socialmedia risk identification and newdrug R&D, presenting academic sessions integrating theoretical depth and industrial insights.

Young scholars from universities including National University of Defense Technology, Guizhou University and Yantai University shared the latest research achievements in deep learning, graph neural networks and other fields. Lively Q&A interactions took place both online and offline, demonstrating the innovative vitality of young researchers. The conference awarded three Best Paper prizes, three Excellent Poster prizes and three Excellent Oral Report prizes at an onsite ceremony.

The successful convening of this conference further deepened academic mutual trust and cooperation among scholars worldwide in artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms, and built an efficient platform for technological breakthroughs and achievement transformation in these fields. In the future, our university will keep building more highlevel, open and shared exchange platforms closely aligned with international academic frontiers and major national strategic demands in artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms. It will collaborate with global experts and scholars to advance academic innovation and scientifictechnological development in relevant domains, and contribute to achieving highlevel selfreliance in science and technology as well as highquality socioeconomic development in China.
