+# RUC IIR Lab
+
+**Intelligent Information Retrieval Lab (IIR Lab)**  
+Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence  
+Renmin University of China
+
+We are a research group working on **AI-powered search, recommendation, large language models, and intelligent agents**.
+
+Our goal is to build the next generation of **trustworthy AI systems for knowledge discovery and decision making**, spanning **information retrieval, recommender systems, LLM-based reasoning, and autonomous agents**.
+
+## Research Areas
+
+- 🔎 Intelligent Information Retrieval  
+- 🎯 Recommender Systems & User Modeling  
+- 🤖 Large Language Models for Search and Recommendation  
+- 🧠 LLM-based Agents and Autonomous Information Systems  
+- 🛡️ Trustworthy AI, Hallucination Detection, and Interpretability  
+
+## Vision
+
+We aim to develop **trustworthy intelligent agents** that can reliably search, retrieve, reason, and interact with the world.  
+Our research bridges **classical information retrieval and modern foundation models**, enabling AI systems that can act as **personal information assistants for knowledge exploration, decision support, and scientific discovery**.
