A lot of fun being ACM CIKM 2023

I look forward to seeing you at #ecir2024 in Glasgow soon! As my current base, I know it well. I'm happy to share two food maps: - A top 50 Food & Drink list just for ECIR maps.app.goo.gl/Ku8gGABAZfwVAL… - My full list maps.app.goo.gl/hTZRzVaHWam3CQ… Research welcome!

Exciting new work on scaling creation of personalized search sessions with LLMs. Congrats team! GRILL Lab.

My group, GRILL Lab at School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh has openings for multiple postdocs and PhD students to work on the future of interactive assistants, generative retrieval, and Large Language Models (LLMs). We're at #ecir2024, so please come chat.

Visiting Professor Jeff Dalton of School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh & our #AI Group will discuss real-world challenges deploying generative LLMs in his #ECIR2024 Industry Day keynote (11 AM GMT): "Generative AI in Finance: Automatic, Topic-based Summaries for Earnings Call Transcripts" bloom.bg/3ITuiQP

Congratulations 🎊🎉 to all members! More exciting work on LLMs and conversational search coming up. Finally, we are hiring PhD students and postdocs! Get in touch with PI Jeff Dalton ([email protected]) to discuss the positions. (6/6)
