Senior🎓
Top SchoolSara Rosenthal is a Staff Research Scientist at IBM Research AI with nine years of professional experience specializing in NLP, particularly generative QA and retrieval-augmented generation. She holds a PhD from Columbia where her thesis explored automatic detection of influencers and persuasion in online discussions, and she blends that social-computational insight into healthcare decision-support and computational social science projects. An active community organizer, she has co-led numerous SemEval shared tasks since 2013 and serves as IBM’s ACL Champion, reflecting a rare combination of deep research, evaluation design, and community stewardship. At IBM she bridges applied research and production-ready NLP, bringing experience from DARPA- and IARPA-funded projects as well as industry internships at Google. Colocated in New York, she often applies discourse- and author-level modeling to real-world problems such as medical QA and misinformation detection, leveraging both classical and generative approaches.
