Yftah Ziser

I am currently a Research Scientist at Nvidia Research and will be joining the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Groningen in 2025 as an Assistant Professor.

I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Informatics at Edinburgh University, hosted by Prof. Shay Cohen, and a proud member of the Cohort.

Before that, I spent three great years at Amazon-Alexa and Facebook as a Research Scientist, where I worked on natural language processing solutions for E-commerce.

I completed my Ph.D. at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Roi Reichart.

My main focus is on Deep-Learning methods for dealing with the resource bottleneck, which seriously challenges the worldwide accessibility of NLP technology.
I am particularly interested in:

• Transfer Learning
• Domain Adaptation
• Multilingual Learning
• Representation Learning
• NLP for E-commerce
