Director
My research is on language processing in humans and machines. I study how humans acquire and process language by combining linguistic and cognitive theory, computational modeling, and behavioral and neuroimaging studies. I also examine how natural language processing in machines can be brough closer to human linguistic abilities by utilizing insights and data from human language processing.
PhD Students
I am a PhD student in Data Science at the Technion. My research explores how eye movements in reading are related to different reading tasks and to reading comprehension.
I'm a PhD student in Data Science at the Technion, passionate about language, data science, and cognition. I'm eager to explore the intersection of these fields and discover new insights.
Masters Students
Cfir Hadar
I am a Masters student in Data Science at Technion's Alonim program. I am interested in the intersection of cognitive science and language processing in LLMs, and decoding language and cognition through data-driven methods.
Shachar Frenkel
I’m an MSc student in Data Science at the Technion. I am interested in exploring the intersection of cognitive sciences and machine learning. I am passionate about deepening our understanding of how these fields can influence one another to advance both human behavior research and language processing technologies.
Amit Heshes
I’m an MSc student in Data Science at the Technion. I am interested in the linguistic knowledge embedded in human-language interactions. I aim to deepen our understanding of this connection and improve our ability to decode and encode this knowledge.
Undergraduates
Diana Morgan
I’m a BSc student in Data Science and Engineering at the Technion. I am interested in human language acquisition and processing, as well as by the similarities and differences between human cognition and machine learning, and how exploring these connections can enhance our understanding of both natural and artificial systems.
Yuval Angel
I am a BSc student in Data Science and Engineering at the Technion. I aim to investigate how the brain’s language networks can serve as a foundation for developing more advanced machine learning algorithms. I hope to contribute to the development of more sophisticated, linguistically intelligent systems that improve human-computer interaction.
Noam Peleg
I am a BSc student in Data Science and Engineering at the Technion. My main interest is the intersection of cognitive science with language processing in machine learning. I hope to discover new insights at this intersection, and contribute to the research by exploring and advancing our understanding of cognitive and linguistic systems.
Anastasia Kondrus
I study Data Science and Cognitive Science at the Technion. I am interested in how humans learn, remember, and process information, and how these cognitive mechanisms can inform the development of more intuitive and intelligent AI systems.
