1. Coming to Terms: Automatic Formation of Neologisms in Hebrew (2020 · 6 citations)
   The system EBY proposes new Hebrew nouns for an English source word, following the Hebrew Academy's three methods: root-and-pattern, compounds and portmanteaus.
2. One Joke to Rule them All? On the (Im)possibility of Generalizing Humor Detection (2026)
   Computational humor research usually builds a separate model for each narrow genre, such as puns, memes or sarcasm.
3. 🧑‍🍳 Cooking Up Creativity: Enhancing LLM Creativity through Structured Recombination (2026)
   LLMs write fluent text but tend to repeat familiar patterns when asked for original ideas. Raising temperature only adds token-level randomness and does not produce new concepts. The authors move the creative step outside the model. An LLM turns textual ideas into structured representations, an algorithm recombines…
