📢Exciting announcement: The @compcomcon workshop report on "Future of Information Retrieval Research in the Age of Generative AI" is out! An awesome 39-page report, highlighting short- & long-term research plans for the IR, NLP & AI communities. https://t.co/lioIwUkrE4

[Debasis Ganguly @debforit]

Glad to organise 3 tasks at FIRE-2024 @fire_forum.
Please participate or spread the word.

ILSUM: Detect misinformed news summaries.
IRSE: Are code comments useful? Is LLM-generated code trustworthy?
SqCLIR: CLIR on spoken queries.

[Iadh Ounis @iadh]

A very good set of resources (reading list, code, slides, etc) in the webpage of the #sigir2024 Generative Information Retrieval tutorial by @mdr et al. - see https://t.co/DZnkYifYBr

[The IRLab at the University of Amsterdam @irlab_amsterdam]

Join us for Search Engines Amsterdam this Friday at 4pm CEST! @snbruch (Pinecone) and @HansiZeng (UMass) will join us and discuss recent innovations in search indexing for dense retrieval and in generative IR.

[Martin Halvey @martinhalvey]

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated RA who will contribute to research in human centred AI, information interaction and retrieval. Applicants from a range of backgrounds will be considered, including but not limited to NLP, IR, HCI, LIS https://t.co/FUtl6jGWjX

[Wenhu Chen @WenhuChen]

My course "Recent Advances on Foundation Models" at Waterloo is public. Check out https://t.co/FcyMu6KzSS.

In the course, we cover lots of interesting topics including transformers, LLM, pre-training, quantization, sparse attention, instruction tuning, RLHF, prompting, Vision transformers, diffusion models, multimodal models, agents, RAG, etc.

I will continue to upload the slides (ppt) to the website. Some of them will also have recorded videos soon. There are already 12 lecture slides available now. These slides are made by the awesome attendees of the course.
