Yanai Elazar

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University.
I work on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, focusing on Interpretability, Data Attribution, and Evaluation of generative models (e.g., LLMs), to develop holistic, causal, and data-centric approaches to study how, when, and why such models work (and when they don't). I really like a good cup of coffee, and I enjoy studying how to make the perfect cup.

I was previously a postdoc at AI2 and at the University of Washington. I completed my PhD in Computer Science in the NLP lab at Bar-Ilan University.

I'm happy to talk about research in general, and my own work in particular. If you have any questions about one of my papers, or my overall research, feel free to reach out!

If you would like to work with my lab, send me an email, I'm recruiting!
