Daniel Hershcovich

Daniel Hershcovich is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science (Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen) specializing in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. His research focuses on cross-cultural adaptation of language models, integrating human values into AI, and analyzing food-related cultural narratives for sustainable diets.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience from Hebrew University of Jerusalem
• B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Open University of Israel

Recent publications highlight his work on multimodal models (haptic captioning, visual assistants for the blind), historical text analysis (Danish/Norwegian literature, euphemism detection), and cross-cultural NLP (recipe adaptation, cultural value alignment, climate awareness). His projects frequently combine AI ethics with domain-specific applications like food studies, historical linguistics, and accessibility research.

Key collaborative networks include institutions in Denmark, Israel, and international partnerships through conferences like ACL, EMNLP, and workshops on cross-cultural NLP. The NLP section at DIKU serves as his primary affiliation for these efforts.
