Russell, Whitehead - Principia Mathematica

mai: MAth Interpreter 

Educational tool for computer-assisted mathematics, wherein the language of mathematics is defined from first principles. Using `horc’, a fully operational proof assistant is obtained at no additional cost.…

Babbage's Analytical Engine, 1834-1871.

horc: HORn-Clause Interpreter 

Implementation of `pure’ logic programming as a lightweight extension to Prolog. It is a minimalist (meta-)language allowing to jointly define and implement more complex formalisms.

À propos

I am a Principal Researcher at Microsoft specializing in generative AI. I have worked in the science and engineering of generative machine learning for nearly a decade. My work spans industrial and academic research in machine learning and natural language processing, including leading small, high-impact research teams and publishing in top venues.

I have also built and shipped innovative AI products and solutions used by millions of people worldwide, including within the Copilot suite, where I served as one of the founding contributors. As an AI lead, I am responsible for fitting models, tuning prompts, and designing tools to solve real-world tasks, as well as building the data pipelines, evaluators, and metrics needed to ensure a predictable, long-term trajectory of improvement.

I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Computer Science (formal methods) from the Weizmann Institute of Science, and a B.A. in Mathematics with Computer Science from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Prior to joining Microsoft, I was a Research Staff Member at IBM Research.

I live in Haifa, Israel. Outside of work, I enjoy weight training and following recent advances in digital mathematics (opens in new tab).
