Bar-Ilan University.
Short Bio
Yael Amsterdamer is a professor at the Department of Computer Science in Bar-Ilan University. Her main research field is databases and data management.
In 2016, Prof. Amsterdamer has received the Allon Fellowship for Outstanding Young Researchers by the Israeli Council for Higher Education.
Prof. Amsterdamer has completed her B.Sc. as a double major in Computer Science and
Linguistics at Tel Aviv University. Before and during
her studies she has worked as a software engineer.
Prof. Amsterdamer has completed her PhD studies
as a member of the Database Group of the Computer Science School, Tel Aviv University,
and under the supervision of Prof. Tova Milo.
Her PhD thesis is titled "On Harvesting and Exploiting Data Patterns Using the Crowd".
On 2010-2011 Prof. Amsterdamer has been a visiting scholar of the Computer and Information
Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, US,
hosted by Prof. Val Tannen. From Philadelphia she continued to Paris, France,
and was a visiting researcher at INRIA, working as part of the Webdam project
with Prof. Pierre Senellart and Prof. Serge Abiteboul.
Research
I am interested in the development of theoretical tools and algorithms for the management of data, and specifically Web data, data on collaborative platforms, knowledge graphs and crowdsourced data.
Some of my ongoing research projects:
Managing Fine-Grained Consent in Shared Databases. In this research project, we consider data whose usage requires its owners' consent, such as personal or proprietary data. Instead of asking for consent in advance, which is often unnecessarily broad, we consider an alternative consent management approach where fine-grained consent is asked on a need basis. This approach allows supporting data derived from multiple owner’s data and aims to minimize and efficiently select consent requests. This project is partially supported by the Israel Science Foundation (ISF).
Interactive Explorative Summarization. In this research project, we consider the task of interactive summarization of multiple documents, as means for providing an incremental summary whose content and scope are dynamically influenced by a user.This is a joint project with Prof. Ido Dagan and is partially supported by the Israel Ministry of Science, Technology and Space (MOST).
