BIO: I’m a postdoc at AI2 and the University of Washington. I got my PhD from Bar-Ilan University. Besides research, I like to work out, feed birds, and listen to audiobooks. I’m interested in computational semantics and pragmatics, and commonsense reasoning. I’m currently working on learning to uncover implicit meaning, which is abundant in human speech, and on developing machines with advanced reasoning skills.
