profile


I am a Distinguished Engineer (DE) at IBM Research AI and the founder and Principal Investigator of Project DebaterBefore that I was an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, and even before that, I did my PhD at the Interdisciplinary Center for Neural Computation (ICNC) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I am interested in Computational Argumentation, and more broadly in how to utilize Language Models *in practice*, to address various forms of text classification problems, and beyond.
