IBM Research – Israel
At IBM Research – Israel we champion open innovation, teaming with scientists from industry and academia to contribute to product and publication breakthroughs in natural language understanding, computer vision, quantum computing, security, automation, and accelerated discovery for healthcare and life science. We just celebrated our 50th year of inventing what’s next. Our lab continues to bring together some of the most brilliant minds in Israel to think, invent, and enjoy.
Artificial Intelligence
We are innovating and developing core technologies in natural language processing and generation, conversational AI, computer vision, speech technologies, optimization, and AI trust, to solve business problems in customer care, business analytics, process automation, and asset management.
Utilizing APIs by Autonomous AI with LLMs
Utilizing APIs and Planning Autonomous AI powered by Large Language Models
Hybrid Cloud
The Israel teams deliver critical components to the infrastructure and platform of IBM Public Cloud to make it an open, reliable, secure, performant public cloud. These features are essential for a cloud that serves enterprise mission-critical and data-intensive applications.
Global Object Store
Using a global object store to enhance usability, improve performance, and cut network costs.
Security
Our research covers the entire range of security solutions, including: data and AI security, privacy, cloud security, threat management, attack simulation, privacy preserving analytics, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), blockchain, and central bank digital currency.
Cryptography Code Discovery and Remediation
Code-level discovery of cryptographic assets
LLMs for Threat Management
Leveraging Large Language Models for the Next-Generation Threat Management Platform
AI on Encrypted Data via FHE
Using fully homomorphic encryption for artificial intelligence
Highly Resilient Transaction Processing
A highly resilient and high-throughput transaction processing platform
Accelerated Discovery
We are developing causal inference technologies and multimodal learning models that leverage the most advanced deep learning and generative models, aimed at accelerating molecules and biomarker discovery.
Machine Learning for Drug Development and Causal Inference
Combining foundation models with causal inference to accelerate early drug development
Accelerated Discovery Technology
Enabling the scientist and the scientific software developer to rapidly harness the most advanced new techniques in a cloud-native environment.
Biomedical Foundation Models
Exploring the power of BMFM technologies to drive critical tasks in drug discovery
Quantum Computing
We research methods to characterize and study quantum computing devices and their dynamics under the effect of quantum noise, to improve the utilization of current quantum devices and facilitate their future development.
Think Lab
Our Think Lab in Haifa makes what's next in computing actionable for IBM employees, partners, and clients in Israel. It provides a stimulating environment to explore future technologies and their transformational impact on business and society. The Haifa Think Lab provides a stage primarily for the work of IBM Research – Israel, which is headquartered at the location. With three sites around the country, IBM Research – Israel uses our Think Lab facility to connect IBM researchers and developers in Israel with our partners and clients from throughout the country to understand how IBM’s leading work on AI, multicloud computing, security technologies, quantum computing, and accelerated scientific discovery can positively impact their organizations.
For more information please contact the Haifa Think Lab leader Flora Gilboa-Solomon.
