I am an assistant professor at the School of Computing, KAIST, leading KAIST Vision and Learning Lab. Before joining KAIST, I was a visiting faculty researcher at Google Brain, and a postdoctoral fellow at University of Michigan collaborated with Professor Honglak Lee on topics related to deep learning and its application to computer vision. I received my Ph.D. degree at POSTECH, Korea under the supervision of Professor Bohyung Han.
My research interests include machine learning and computer vision. Particularly, I am interested in scaling up machine learning algorithms for visual perception by minimizing human supervision for training. I am also interested in making such algorithms interpretable to humans, allowing users to more easily understand and get involved in the decision making process in ML systems.
