The IRLAb staff is involved with teaching in the Artificial Intelligence and Information Studies programs. Within the MSc AI program, IRLab staff is mostly responsible for the courses related to Information Retrieval. More information on the MSc AI program can be found in the Course Catalogue.

University of Amsterdam students who like to do a thesis project with a member from IRLab can find our projects at datanose or apply through this form.

Courses taught (fully or in part) by IRLab members (unless stated otherwise all courses are University of Amsterdam courses; Sem n/per m is short for Semester n/period m):
