About


I am an Associate Professor and Schmidt Career Advancement Chair in Artificial Intelligence at the faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management of the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. I am also a Co-editor in Chief of the Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL, MIT Press). Finally, I am active in the hi-tech industry, serve as a chief scientist for suridata.ai and provide consultancy services to other companies (among previous companies: Yahoo!, Gong.io and Meta).

Research



I am working on Natural Language Processing (NLP). My current research focuses on three main themes:

1. Out-of-distribution generalization: domain adaptation, semi-supervised learning, learning with light supervision, cross-language and multilingual learning, zero-shot learning, multi-modal learning (language, vision, behavioral signals, etc.) and multi-task learning.

2. The intersection of computational language processing, human communication (e.g. conversations, social media), social, behavioral and health science (economics, game theory, psychology and psychiatry).

3. Causal inference for NLP. Causality research provides a bridge between the above two themes, with important applications to, e.g., model interpretation and out-of-distribution generalization.

    Data


    Multilingual data for language modeling : LM training data in 50 morphologically diverse languages (see Gerz et al., TACL 2018 paper).

    WIW (word, translation and image) : English words, their translation to several languages and an image that describes the word (see Rotman et al., ACL 2018 paper).

    Sarcasm Sign: 3000 sarcastic tweets, each with five honest (non-sarcastic) interpretations. See (Peled and Reichart, ACL 2017) for details.

    sp-embeddings: Word embeddings based on word co-occurrence in symmetric patterns that were acquired from text in an unsupervised manner. These vectors achieve state-of-the-art results on the SimLex999 word similarity dataset, and are particularly useful for verb similarity prediction.

    SimLex-999: SimLex-999 provides similarity scores for 999 word pairs - comprised of nouns, verbs and adjectives. It was annotated through the Amazon Mechanical Turk with annotation guidelines that emphasize the similarity, rather than association, between the words in the pair. This is in contrast to existing datasets that where annotation was done with guidelines that were strongly biased towards association. The data set was created in a collaboration with Felix Hill and Anna Korhonen from the University of Cambridge.

    MultilingualWS353&MultilingualSimLex999: Translated versions of the WordSim353 and SimLex999 datasets to German, Italian and Russian. The translated datasets were scored according to translated versions of the scoring guidlines of the original datasets. The new scores were produced by crowd workers, all fluent speakers of the target language.

    simVerb-3500: A gold standarad evlauation resource for verb pair similarity, providing 3500 verb pairs with human similarity ratings on the scale of 1-10. The resource covers all normed verb type from the USF free-association database, and provides at least three examples for each verbNet class.

    Verb Similarity Dataset (Baker, Reichart and Korhonen, EMNLP 2014): 143 pairs of verbs annotated by 10 annotators following the WS-353 guidelines. The data was used for evaluation in the paper and collected together with my co-authors. Please cite the paper when using it.

    Code


    Clustering Evaluation Code: MATLAB code for Information-theoretic and mapping-based measures for clustering evaluation (Reichart and Rappoport, CoNLL 2009). The IT-based measures are: V,VI and NVI. The mapping-based measures are two variants of greedy mapping: many-to-one and one-to-one (based on the Kuhn-Munkres algorithm).

    Clustering with DPPs: MATLAB code for DPP-based hierarchical clustering (Reichart and Korhonen, ACL 2013). The algorithm achieves state-of-the-art verb clustering performance and is particularly suited for joint modeling.
