I am a Senior Research Scientist in NAVER AI Lab (from 2018.01 - ) and an Adjunct Professor at KAIST Graduate School of AI (from 2021.09 - ).
I actively explore pioneering advancements in large language models and multi-modal models, including vision-language (action) models, from a machine learning perspective.
Please reach out if you're excited about working together on these topics (currently, I'm not running a lab at KAIST, so this refers to applying for an NAVER internship.)
