Her research is about making sense of massive amounts of data. She designs algorithms that help people connect the dots between pieces of information and turn data into insight. She is especially interested in unlocking the potential of the many digital traces left by human activity to understand and emulate human characteristics (e.g., creativity). Her work has received multiple awards, including Best Research Paper at KDD'17 and KDD’10 and the IJCAI Early Career Award. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to joining the Hebrew University, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Microsoft Research and Stanford University.
