Bing Qin

Also known as Qin Bing

Bing Qin is a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology whose AI research spans sentiment analysis and language models. She earned degrees in electrical engineering and computer science at HIT and advanced through assistant, lecturer, associate professor and professor roles. Her work includes a 2014 paper on sentiment-specific Twitter word embeddings, the 2020 CodeBERT model and surveys on hallucination, chain-of-thought reasoning and multimodal sentiment from 2023 to 2024. In 2025, she received a first-class Ministry of Education research-achievement award; as of October 2026, she directs HIT's Social Computing and Interactive Robotics Center.

From the biography and OpenAlex affiliations (the years of papers that list the organization), so some years are approximate.

  1. 84% of people shaping AI with recorded undergraduate and doctoral schools changed institutions for their doctorateIncludes Bing Qin. 84% of people shaping AI with recorded undergraduate and doctoral schools changed institutions for their doctorate. Across 2,116 people with both an undergraduate degree and a doctorate recorded, we trace which undergraduate schools feed which doctoral programs, how often students stay at the same school, and how paths differ by birth-country region.
  2. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes Harbin Institute of Technology. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
  3. The company share of AI researchers’ top papers was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974Includes Harbin Institute of Technology. We estimate where the people shaping AI worked when their most-cited papers appeared: the company share was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974, and Google led all organizations in 2020–2024.
  4. Google has the highest combined h-index among AI organizationsIncludes Harbin Institute of Technology. We estimate that Google holds the highest combined h-index at 8,016, while universities account for 73% of the deduplicated total across AI organizations.
