Deep Total Recall is a five-year national research project under Korea’s Human-Centered AI Core Technology Development Program, with total funding of KRW 5 billion.

Led by Prof. Dong-Wan Choi, the project investigates how neural networks can continually learn and recall previously acquired knowledge in a manner inspired by human memory. It represents the central long-term research vision of Big Data Lab.

This project is supported by Korea’s national Generative AI Leading Talent Program, which combines industry–university research with the training of advanced M.S. and Ph.D. researchers. The program aims to strengthen Korea’s independent capabilities in foundation models and domain-specific generative AI.

Our consortium develops high-trust, on-premise generative AI for the financial sector, where data security, regulatory compliance, and technological sovereignty are particularly critical.
