Bio

I am a senior lecturer at Tel Aviv University’s school of computer science and a research scientist at Facebook AI Research. I completed my BSc and MSc at Technion and my PhD at Bar-Ilan University, and did postdoctoral research at the University of Washington.

Research

My research is in the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. I have worked on a variety of topics including semantics, self-supervised learning, machine translation, language modeling, dataset annotation, and explainability. I am particularly interested in creating NLP models that can generalize well.
