Even within the rigid structures of diplomatic protocols, diplomats wield creativity to convey positive signals. These findings highlight the importance of interpersonal relationships in diplomatic settings and call for a deeper examination of these dynamics in global politics.

Read what @RoniBerkowitz and I had to say about DeepSeek and the stir it caused, calling for an examination of the broader politicization of LLMs - beyond China and beyond outputs

הרבה רעש היה בזמן האחרון סביב מודל השפה שהשיקה חברת DeepSeek, והאופן שבו הוא משקף הטיה פוליטית וצנזורה סינית. מוזמנים ומוזמנות לקרוא את הבלוג שכתבו תלמידות דוקטורט שלנו, רוני ברקוביץ ויעל רם, אשר מסביר מדוע מודלים כאלה הם פוליטיים בכמה וכמה רמות. ולא, זו לא רק המצאה של הסינים...

Excited to share my new blog post with @YaelRam15 for China Dialogues at @lseideas. We explore LLM politics and how China’s DeepSeek model challenges the myth of “technical neutrality” 👇 https://t.co/tSNSKD0RdW

NEW PUBLICATION Authored with @PressBarnathan In @CSP_journal - We tell the story of China’s participation in the World Bank, arguing that as the development finance regime complex changed, it affected the stability of China’s cooptation deal in the Bank. https://t.co/5k2SiNDjb1

Recently returned from the #EISAPEC2024, Grateful for the insightful discussions on: 1️⃣ The Multidimensional Meaning of the "China Threat" concept. 2️⃣ Media Control and Dynamics in Popular Culture Importations in China. 📸Tackling my fear of public speaking, one step at a time.

This builds on our earlier study, "Communicating through Protocols," where we examined the creative ways in which interpersonal relations are cultivated within the highly regulated environment of diplomatic ceremonies:

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression 🤝 In our new study “Performing good diplomatic relations”, @ZoharKampf @gadiheiman and me, explore how diplomats navigate their first encounters with the president. Check out the full article:

🎉I'm incredibly honored to receive the Carmon Award for outstanding research in IR, security, and the Middle East for my work on the Chinese threat narrative in the Israeli context. Many thanks to the committee for this recognition! 🙏 @HebrewU @LeonardDavisIns

Thrilled to share that @roniberkowitz and I have been awarded the Pratt Prize in International Relations at @HebrewU for our research on how conflict-related sexual violence is portrayed and used online by state actors, focusing on the war in Ukraine.

Today we released JASCO 🥁🎵🪇! JASCO uses time-aligned conditions (e.g. drums, melody) as guiding controls for text-to-music generation. 📜Full Paper: https://t.co/exolVO0UUn 🔊Samples: https://t.co/ONL4ATy3lx @lonziks @itai_gat @FelixKreuk @adiyossLC Stay tuned for updates.

@ZoharKampf @gadiheiman Learn more about the ongoing research project on our website

Thrilled to share that my first article, a result of 2 years of ethnographic work at the President's Residence, has been published! Huge thanks to @ZoharKampf and @gadiheiman for their incredible support and collaboration. A peek into diplomatic relations- https://t.co/213qc9GmWM

The current war is an acid test to China’s international commitment. But for now, China’s more assertive rhetoric is yet to translate into a more proactive role. Read this china dialogues blog by @DoronElla and @RoniBerkowitz: https://t.co/3edkHPRVuA

Collaborating with the brilliant @DoronElla, you can now read our piece on China Dialogues. Indeed, China-Israel relations per se have little (if any) to do with China's role in the Israel-Gaza War. Yet, systemic interests have a habit of eventually affecting real people's lives.

Happy to share that @RoniBerkowitz and I presented yesterday our research at the IAIS convention in @ubarilan. Our research deals with how CRSV is portrayed, understood, & utilized online in the war in Ukraine.

@mmayuri Thank you! Had a great time in Toronto. I am back home in Jerusalem now - but I hope to visit Montréal in the future :)

What my supervisor thinks I'm doing at conferences vs. what I'm actually doing. In the video: @Tomatook07 teaching me the true meaning of #networking in #ICA23.

I had an amazing experience at #isa2023 ! So grateful for the opportunity to share mine and @KidronUri’s research regarding the virtual narratives and functionality of sexual violence in conflict settings. We examine the ways CRSV portrayed online in the war in Ukraine.
