This seems like an awesome course! jshun.csail.mit.edu/6506-s24/! If there were more hours in the day, I'd want to put something like this together at UMD.

We're thrilled to announce that one of our keynote speakers at #WABI2025 will be the inimitable Ben Langmead! wabiconf.github.io/2025/talks/tal…. Ben's keynote is titled "We are what we index; a primer for the Wheeler Graph era", and it's sure to be a whirlwind tour of full-text indexing!
