Email: Just concatenate my first name, yoelle, with the usual @ and then yahoo.com.
I started in 2024 a new adventure: I am opening in Haifa, Israel, an AI/IR Research Center for the Technology Innovation Institute (TII). TII is the UAE-based institute that invented Falcon, one of the leading open-source Large Language Models around. We will work on some of the most interesting challenges in AI and at the same time contribute to the vision of scientific collaboration articulated in the Abraham Accords. I could not wish for a more exciting and meaningful adventure.
And yes we are hiring researchers and applied scientists!
I also continue my engagement with the research community, currently, serving as a Vice-Chair of the Steering Committee of the ACM WebConf series (formerly WWW). I give as much support as I can to my alma mater, the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, serving in its Board of Governors and Management Council.
