Eliya Habba

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, advised by Dr. Gabriel Stanovsky and Dr. Renana Keydar. My research focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP), developing evaluation methodologies for LLMs despite their sensitivity in multiple dimensions, such as to prompt phrasing, and applications of AI in the legal domain (yes, both my parents are jurists - my friends tell me these are daddy-mommy issues).

I received my M.Sc. in Computer Science (2021-2023) under the supervision of Dr. Gabriel Stanovsky, where my thesis research applied computational methods to analyze judicial attitudes in court decisions about sexual violence cases. I also hold a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science (2017-2019, graduated with honours) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Beyond academia, I've gained valuable industry experience as an Algorithm Developer at OrCam for two years, a Data Scientist Intern at Microsoft, and a summer research internship at Lightricks.

I am also one of the organizers of ACL 2025's GEM² Workshop: Generation, Evaluation & Metrics, focusing on meaningful, efficient and robust evaluation of LLMs.

I'm always open to collaborations and enjoy discussing research at the intersection of NLP, legal AI, and evaluation methodologies. Feel free to reach out!
