• Report: “Advancing the Search Frontier with AI Agents”

    From a Communications of the ACM Article by Ryen White (Microsoft Research):
    As many of us in the information retrieval (IR) research community know and appreciate, search is far from being a solved problem. Millions of people struggle with tasks on search engines every day. Often, their struggles relate to the intrinsic complexity of their task and the failure of search systems to fully understand it and serve relevant results. The task motivates the search, creating the problem that searchers
