I am a graduate student in the department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. My advisor is Luke Zettlemoyer. I received my undergradute degree in Computer Science from Tel Aviv Unviersity. In summer 2011 I was an intern at Microsoft Research, where I worked with Patrick Pantel and Michael Gamon.

Research

My current research is in the intersection of natural language processing, machine learning and learning through interaction, with specific interest in situated/grounded language acquisition and natural language dialog.

Personal

At times I take photos and some I share here and here. I also tampered with creating mixsets on the very fringe of popular music.
