SocialMem [In Progress]
A multi-modal memory architecture for long-horizon social interactions
Hello!
I’m a graduate student at MIT, supervised by Alex Pentland. My work spans AI, network science, and social psychology. My current interests are mutlimodal AI for social intelligence, and behavioral modeling of large multi-agent systems.
Prior to grad school, I did my undergrad at Columbia University, double-majoring in Data Science and Psychology; I worked as a Software/ML engineer in two AI startups, a product manager, and a professional music producer; and I grew up in a tiny, tiny town in Israel.
