I'm a M.S. student in Visual Representation Learning Lab at Sogang University, advised by Prof. Junsuk Choe.
My research lies in the field of AI Safety, with a particular interest in building models that are both fair and responsible. Specifically, I am interested in long-tail learning and machine unlearning, addressing challenges in Trustworthy AI. Long-tail learning aims to mitigate model bias caused by imbalanced data, while machine unlearning seeks to selectively remove the influence of specific data to protect user privacy and copyright.
Recently, I have been exploring unlearning techniques in both large language models (LLMs) and large vision-language models (LVLMs).
