IR Summer School
Information retrieval (IR) is an area of computer science that is concerned with the organization of, and access to information items such as text documents, web pages, online catalogs, multimedia objects, and structured and semi-structured items. In terms of scope, IR has grown well beyond its early goals of indexing text and searching for relevant documents. Nowadays IR encompasses web, social and enterprise search, text classification and categorization, system architecture and platform, interface and visualization, user behavior and information seeking, ranking and learning models, evaluation and crowd-sourcing methodologies, personalization and context, to name a few.
The objective of this summer school is as follows:
- equip attendees with a variety of tools needed to conduct research in this area,
- cover the entire spectrum from theory to practice.
