Her major research interests are in computer vision, image processing, and artificial intelligence. In particular, her research focusses on understanding the internal statistics of natural images and videos, the space-time analysis of videos, and on visual inference by composition. She developed an approach that uses only a small number of available visual examples and composes and integrates them into new global visual configurations which were never seen before.<ref>{{cite web |title=Research Interests |url=http://www.weizmann.ac.il/math/irani/research-activities |website=Prof. Michal Irani |accessdate=8 March 2020}}</ref>
