On the morning of December 30, 2025, the Faculty of Information Technology held a faculty-wide seminar on the topic of "Information Retrieval," attracting active participation from faculty and students. The academic session took place in an atmosphere of open, serious, and in-depth discussion , with many opinions revolving around theoretical issues and practical applications in the field of information retrieval.
The seminar speaker was Nguyen Duy Nam Khanh , a postgraduate student in Software Engineering at the University of Queensland (Australia) . In his presentation, the speaker provided a comprehensive and systematic overview of the Information Retrieval field, from traditional models such as TF-IDF and BM25 to modern methods based on neural and transformer models such as BERT and GPT.
The report focused on clarifying how to build search systems that achieve a balance between performance, accuracy, and scalability , especially in the context of big data processing. The discussion following the report was lively, with many questions and in-depth academic exchanges, further clarifying the research issues and practical implementation possibilities.
The seminar is a meaningful academic activity that contributes to updating professional knowledge, broadening research perspectives, and strengthening academic connections between faculty and students throughout the Faculty.
