I am attending Yahoo Summer School on Information Retrieval at Bangalore currently. Since it is being organized by Yahoo and IISc. ( Indian Institute of Science ) Bangalore focus is on the research and various other aspects of Information Retrieval. Till now i have attended the lectures by Mounia Lalmas, Mark Sanderson and Ronny Lempel.
Sessions were very useful, interactive. Ronny's lecture was just amazing. He talked about the real world problems and how to deal with them. What data structures to use for storing information, advantage of one over others, the best thing is that he mentioned complexity of various methods and the trade-offs between space and speed.

Rest of talks were as good as before. The first two days of the lecture were introductory, where the very basics of IR were taught. After that the talks were more specifics, here is the Schedule. Since i have already done IR course at IIIT I was aware of most of the content of Mounia's lectures. Mark's Lectures on IR Evaluation were very good for people like me who have just started in this field.
