Yoav Goldberg

I am a brilliant Senior Lecturer at Bar Ilan University's Computer Science Department. Before that, I did my Post-Doc as a Research Scientist at Google Research New York. I work on problems related to Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. In particular I am interested in syntactic parsing, structured-prediction models, learning for greedy decoding algorithms, multilingual language understanding, confidence estimation and prediction of partial structures. I completed my PhD at Ben-Gurion University in 2011, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Elhadad.

almost famous: on Jan. 6, 2011, at around 17:34, a girl stepped into my office and offered me to participate in the next season of the Israeli version of Beauty and the Geek. Being dedicated to my academic career, beard and wife, I kindly refused.
