Computer Science & AI Bar Ilan

Warm congratulations to Prof. @kraus_sari3834 on winning the AIJ Classic Paper Award 2026 for the groundbreaking 1990 paper “Nonmonotonic reasoning, preferential models and cumulative logics,” co-authored with Lehmann & Magidor. @Bar_ilan

How do we make AI both smart - and safe? Dr. @moran_baruch , who completed her PhD in Computer Science at @Bar_ilan under Prof. @yoavgo, developed methods to strengthen the security and privacy of deep learning models and advanced research in AI with homomorphic encryption.

We are thrilled to congratulate our Phd students, Avi Kadriya (Advised by Prof. @LRoditty ) and @ron_eliav, (Advised by Prof. Ido Dagan) on winning the prestigious @Bar_ilan Rector’s Prize!

Proud to celebrate our MSc thesis graduates ✨ Together with their supervisors, we marked this important milestone - a journey of curiosity, research, and hard work. Huge congratulations, and thanks to the dedicated mentors who guided them. Onward to the PhD 🔝 @Bar_ilan

Introducing our Dean’s List honorees! 🥇 We are incredibly proud of your hard work and achievements. Keep shining! @Bar_ilan

AI still struggles with spatial instructions-but a new method from researchers at @Bar_ilan & @nvidia changes that: “Learn-to-Steer” improves how models place objects in images-no retraining needed @GalChechik @sapiryiflach @AtzmonYuval

How can we teach AI to be fair- and control what it represents? @ravfogel’s phd studies how language models encode sensitive traits and how to remove them without harming meaning- laying the groundwork for Human-Centric AI @YoavGoldb1 @Bar_ilan

חג שמח ובטוח 💛 מאיתנו

הכוכבת החדשה של @Eretz_Nehederet, לולה שלנו- היא רובוטית מסוג Unitree Go2. במחלקה היא חלק ממחקרים פורצי דרך בAI, כמו פיתוח ממשק אדם-רובוט (HRI), יכולות תכנון למשימות סריקה, ביטחון וחיפוש פצועים, וסיוע בשיקום לאנשים עם מוגבלויות. אבל מה זה לעומת מערכון עם אסתי וראובן? @Bar_ilan

כשלולה שלנו הגיעה ל @Eretz_Nehederet : חדשנות ו-AI במרכז הבמה! @Bar_ilan

Congratulations to Prof. @rtsarfaty on her promotion to Full Professor! A global leader in multilingual NLP, her research advances AI for diverse and under-resourced languages, with contributions to Hebrew language technologies and international initiatives @Bar_ilan

Huge congrats to Ido Tziony, PhD student in @YaronOrenstein’s lab at @Bar_ilan , on receiving the prestigious VATAT Fellowship for excellence in AI & Data Science! Ido is advancing #CRISPR precision and genetic data analysis.

Congratulations to Prof. Eylon Yogev on his promotion to Associate Professor! A leading researcher in cryptography and theoretical CS, his work on advanced proof systems, blockchain security, and post-quantum cryptography places him at the forefront of global research @Bar_ilan

Congratulations to Dr. @Yoni Zohar on winning the 2026 Rector's Prize for Scientific Innovation! 🏆 His research provides a major breakthrough in #SoftwareVerification, optimizing 40-year-old mathematical theory integration. @Bar_ilan

Congrats to Jonathan Shaki 🏆 PhD candidate awarded the prestigious @CheMalag Fellowship for Outstanding PhD Students in AI & Data Science (top 20 nationwide!). Researching LLMs & Game Theory under Prof. Sarit Kraus and Prof. Yonatan Aumann. Proud! @Bar_ilan

Proud to see Prof. Sarit Kraus, Prof. Gal Kaminka, and Dr. Alex Shleifman at #AAAI — the world’s leading AI conference. Special pride in Kraus and Kaminka as AAAI Fellows, a rare global honor. 👏 @Bar_ilan

New paper from CS @BarIlanU introduces NER Retriever, showing that entity knowledge in large language models is embedded in deep layers — enabling smarter, more flexible AI search. aclanthology.org/anthology-file…

How can a computer learn from just one image? PhD research by @dvir_samuel (with Prof. @GalChechik) shows how AI can learn from scarce, unbalanced data—making models smarter, more flexible, and useful for search, media, and medicine. @BarIlanU
