About
Polyglot
I can communicate in four languages: Hebrew, English, Korean, and Spanish.
- Hebrew is my native language.
- I speak English fluently.
- Been self-studying Korean (on and off) for several years now, which sparked my interest in Korean culture.
- Picked up Spanish by watching a few Argentine TV shows in high school.
Academy
During my undergraduate studies, I double majored with distinction in Computer Science and Psychology at the Open University of Israel. Recently, I earned a master's degree in Cognitive Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP) as a central research topic under the supervision of Prof. Omri Abend.
My thesis presents the adaptation of the Universal Conceptual Cognitive Annotation (a semantic annotation scheme) to the Korean language. It involves a linguistic analysis as well as zero-shot cross-lingual transfer experiments.
As a language learner and AI enthusiast, I feel fortunate to be able to integrate my two passions through NLP!
