Using Pinecone Assistant you can ask "me" anything about my research. Try "What topics does Edo research?" or "Tell me about random projections".

Bio

I founded Pinecone in 2019 and led it as CEO for six years before becoming Chief Scientist. Pinecone established the vector database category, is used by more than a million engineers, serves thousands of customers, raised over $100M, and grew to over a hundred employees.

Before Pinecone I was a Director of Research at AWS and Head of Amazon AI Labs, where the lab created algorithms, models, and systems including parts of SageMaker, OpenSearch, Kinesis, QuickSight, Glue, Rekognition, Personalize, and others.

Prior to that I was a Senior Research Director at Yahoo and Head of Yahoo's Research Lab in New York, building horizontal machine learning platforms and improving applications such as online advertising, web search, security, media recommendation, email abuse prevention, and many more.

I received my B.Sc in Physics and Computer Science from Tel Aviv University and my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Yale University. After that, I was a Postdoctoral fellow at Yale in the Program in Applied Mathematics.

I taught Algorithms in Data Mining for three years at Tel Aviv University and Long Term Memory in AI at Princeton. I give frequent keynotes and tutorials about these topics. See my TED Talk about knowledgeable AI.
