Ever thought about what it would look like to have a personal assistant with domain-specific knowledge discovery? At the speed of Information Retrieval and Generative AI collaboration, this could be a reality in 10 years. CCC will be hosting a workshop on, “Information Retrieval in the Age of Generative AI,” from July 19-20 in Washington, DC. 

In today’s digital landscape, IR is undergoing a profound evolution, driven by the convergence of traditional search methods with advanced AI technologies. 

Key among these technologies are generative AI models like GPT and diffusion models, which represent a significant leap forward in how information is both accessed and processed.

These models not only excel at generating human-like text but also revolutionize the way information is retrieved and recommended to users. By enabling more nuanced search queries and personalized content suggestions, they can enhance efficiency and user experience across digital platforms.

The workshop aims to chart the future course of IR research in this transformative era, emphasizing collaborative efforts to address emerging challenges and seize new opportunities. 

By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among experts in IR, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and AI, the workshop seeks to establish a roadmap for leveraging generative AI advancements to advance the frontiers of information access and retrieval systems.
