Gail Weiss

Gail Weiss is a Lecturer and Post-Doctoral Researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the Natural Language Processing Laboratory (NLP) within the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. She holds dual roles in research and teaching, contributing to both academic research and coursework in natural language processing and formal methods.

Her research focuses on the intersection of formal language theory and machine learning, particularly exploring the capabilities of neural networks such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and transformers in recognizing formal languages. Recent work examines the vulnerability of higher education to AI tools and advances methods for extracting formal models from neural architectures.

Teaching includes courses like 'Topics in Natural Language Processing' and contributes to the EDIC academic program. Her research has been published in top venues, addressing theoretical foundations of neural networks and practical applications in knowledge representation. She is based at INR 240 in Lausanne.
