Yonatan Bisk – יונתן ביסק

My research area is Natural Language Processing (NLP) with a focus on grounding (e.g. RoboNLP). In particular, my work broadly falls into: 1. Uncovering the latent structures of natural language, 2. Modeling the semantics of the physical world, and 3. Connecting language to perception and control -- see WS3 and WS4 of EGL. twitter logo
