Great learning opportunity for grad/PhD students and everyone interested in IR, NLP or related fields!
ASIRF provides a holistic perspective and shows how Information Retrieval and Information Foraging interact. In addition to conceptual and methodological knowledge from both fields, ASIRF is highly interdisciplinary. The autumn school will provide different tutorials, from foundations of Information Retrieval and Information Foraging to recent research topics such as using large language models for information retrieval tasks or applications of IR techniques in application domains.
The autumn school will take place at the best computer science venue ever Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (LZI) between 24 and 29 August 2025.
The program includes the following lectures and tutorials:
- Foundations of Interactive IR (Norbert Fuhr, U Duisburg-Essen) - Deep Learning for IR (Avishek Anand, TU Delft) - Conversational Search (Ralf Schenkel, U Trier) - Fairness and Bias (Andrea Horbach, U Kiel) - Multimodal retrieval and data analysis (Henning Müller, HES-SO) - User Experiments and Interactive IR (Thomas Mandl, U Hildesheim) - Complex Casual Leisure Information Needs (Vivien Petras, HU Berlin) - User Simulations for IR (Philipp Schaer, TH Köln)
