Minseo (Eric) Kim

👋 About Me

I am a Master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at Hanyang University and a member of HYU NLP Lab, advised by Prof. Taeuk Kim. My research lies at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Human-Computer Interaction, and empirical AI alignment, with a particular interest in verifiability and the evaluation of non-verifiable tasks.

My research investigates how LLM-based systems can make reliable decisions in subjective settings. I focus on studying human preference modeling, rubric-based evaluation, and the use of evaluation signals as rewards in reinforcement learning.

My broader goal is to develop human-centered language technologies that support interpretable and trustworthy interactions between people and AI systems.
