Advisor: Prof. Roi Reichart
I am a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Data and Decisions Sciences at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Roi Reichart.
Research Interests: NLP, LLMs, Dementia and Alzheimer's, Non-Literal Communication, Sarcasm
I completed my BSc and MSc at the Technion as well, with my master's thesis (supervised by Prof. Roi Reichart). My master’s thesis defined the novel task of sarcasm interpretation, including the creation of an annotated dataset of sarcastic tweets and their honest interpretations. The research introduced a sarcasm interpretation mechanism that combined machine translation and sentiment analysis to convert sarcastic expressions into straightforward language.
Between my MSc and PhD I spent several years in the industry, serving as a Data Scientist, Consultent, Lecturer, and Product Manager in companies such as Gong, Fiverr, Samsung Next, and Datagen.
