AMIR -- The 1st Interdisciplinary Workshop on Algorithm Selection and Meta-Learning in Information Retrieval -- brings together researchers from the fields of algorithm selection and meta-learning as well as information retrieval. AMIR aims to raise the awareness of the algorithm selection problem in the IR community; identify the potential for automatic algorithm selection in information retrieval; and explore possible solutions for this context. In particular, we will explore to what extent existing solutions to the algorithm selection problem from other domains can be applied in information retrieval, and also how techniques from IR can be used for automated algorithm selection and meta-learning.
