Jaehyung Kim

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Language Technology Institute, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), working with Yiming Yang. Before joining CMU, I earned my Ph.D. at KAIST under the supervision of Prof. Jinwoo Shin. I also worked closely with Prof. Dongyeop Kang at the University of Minnesota. During my Ph.D., I had the chance to intern or collaborate with various industry and academic labs, including Naver AI, Meta AI, and SAIT. I am a recipient of Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Korea (2021, 2022) from three of my papers. I also receive Silver prize from Samsung Humantech Paper Awards.

📑 Research 

My research goal is to enhance machine learning (ML) and NLP frameworks to be more accurate and reliable in real-world scenarios, via data-centric approaches. Recently, I’ve been mostly interested in large language models (LLMs), especially in their alignment, adaptation (e.g., personalization), and development. While my recent focus has mainly been on NLP and LLMs, I’m also interested in improving ML frameworks in other domains.
