AI Agent for Information Retrieval (Agent4IR)

October 25, 2024 in Boise, Idaho, USA @CIKM 2024

The field of information retrieval has significantly transformed with the integration of AI technologies. AI agents, especially those leveraging LLMs and vast computational power, have revolutionized information retrieval, processing, and presentation. LLM agents, with advanced memory, reasoning, and planning capabilities, can perform complex tasks, engage in coherent conversations, and provide personalized responses. Despite these advancements, challenges such as ensuring relevance and accuracy, mitigating biases, providing real-time responses, and maintaining data security remain.This workshop is motivated by the need to explore these challenges, share innovative solutions, and discuss future directions.
