The Autumn School for Information Retrieval and Information Foraging (ASIRF) focuses on recent developments in Information Retrieval and Information-Seeking behavior and their applications. Information Retrieval deals with searching in huge amounts of unstructured data. In many professional fields of work and everyday life, access to text data via search engines is one of the most important forms of access to knowledge. Information Foraging aims to model the entire process from the awareness of an information problem through selecting appropriate information sources to the actual search.

Students and lecturers will live together for a week at Schloss Dagstuhl, which guarantees the school's traditionally highly communicative and interactive atmosphere. The intended audience of ASIRF are doctoral students and young researchers working in Information Retrieval, Information Foraging, or using concepts or methods from these fields in their research

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has proven effective in conditioning the output of large language models (LLMs) on relevant documents and for grounding LLM-generated statements, this way combatting the so-called confabulation or hallucination problem. Basically, RAG combines (1) a retrieval phase, where a search system identifies relevant documents for a user prompt, and (2) a generation phase, where an LLM synthesizes a tailored answer, probably linking to the retrieved sources.

Das 3-tägige Intensivcamp richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Kubernetes-Anwender:innen, die ihre Kenntnisse vertiefen und praxisnah erweitern möchten. Im Fokus stehen moderne Cluster-Technologien und fortgeschrittene Bereitstellungsstrategien im Kubernetes-Ökosystem. Die Teilnehmenden arbeiten mit einem 4-Node-Cluster und lernen die Konfiguration dynamischer Storage-Lösungen mit Ceph/rook.io kennen. Für eine effektive Systemüberwachung kommen Prometheus und Loki zum Einsatz. Darüber hinaus werden fortgeschrittene Konzepte wie Pod Priority, Pod Disruption Budgets, Network Policies, PodSecurityPolicies und der sichere Umgang mit Secrets behandelt. Auch Themen rund um die Containerverwaltung und Automatisierung stehen im Fokus: von der Nutzung von Helm Charts und Harbor bis hin zum Schreiben eigener Operatoren und Controller sowie dem Einsatz des Operator-Lifecycle-Managers (OLM). Abgerundet wird das Camp mit einem Einblick in die kontinuierliche Bereitstellung mittels Argo CD und dem Betrieb von Datenbanken in Kubernetes-Umgebungen.

The Cologne Information Retrieval Group (CIR) is working on the intersection of computer and information science to investigate the domain of information retrieval. Current research is on topics like quantitative modeling of user behavior in information retrieval systems, simulation, access and reusability of information from preprint servers in life sciences, technology, and methodology for infrastructures for evaluating IR living lab principles, or the influence of search engines on political discourses. In the research retreat, new research topics and collaborations will be discussed.

This Dagstuhl Seminar is relevant to the diverse fields of data management, data engineering, human computation and crowdsourcing, data-driven decision-making, responsible AI, and data governance. The seminar looks at three perspectives: Human, Computational, and Institutional. There is an evident need to bring together perspectives from domain experts who understand the properties and semantics of the datasets (human perspective); from algorithmic advancements that can help improve data quality (computational perspective); and from institutional imperatives including regulations, standards and organizational policies that create necessary safeguards for governance of data pipeline processes (institutional perspective).

Previous seminars focused on robustness in processing once data were appropriately organized. This seminar will explicitly explore the interplay between organizing and querying that data concurrently in the context of dynamic streaming systems.
