Michael Fink’s work bridges media research, machine learning and cognitive science.
Michael initiated the YouTube interactive video annotations project, which became a
major driving force in making YouTube videos truly interactive. Previously, Michael
worked at Google Research, focusing on image and audio fingerprinting for
applications such as the “mass personalization” of broadcast television. His PhD
research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem focuses on large scale object
recognition in humans and machines, generating publications ranging from machine
learning, computer vision and artificial intelligence to cognitive science, justice
and economics. In the last few years, Michael has initiated the Computer Science and
Design program in a joint collaboration with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and
the Bezalel Design Academy.
