This is the introduction thread for Hebrew NLP practitioners.

Welcome! Please introduce yourself and let us know:

  • Some projects you are working on or interested in starting

As for me, I’m Vladimir Gurevich (@imvladikon on GitHub, linkedin) and I’m a data scientist in Israel,
and I’m interested in Hebrew NLP :smiley: , in making transformers efficient and in making knowledge enriched models.

Nice to e-meeting you all!

Hi!

I’m Alan Feder / @AlanFeder (twitter & Github) based in the US, but I spent some time in Israel previously – just getting my feet wet in NLP in general, but excited about exploring it in a Hebrew context.

Hi all! I’m Alex Lavin (@alavin here). I specialize in medical machine learning, and as Cofounder & CTO at Causalis I’m currently working on a project with several Israeli hospitals. If NLP on Hebrew+English EHR data is up your alley I’d love to chat: lavin@causalis.ai or linkedin.
