I'm a senior machine learning developer at SAP, and a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Sungjin Ahn at MLML. Before that, I worked in Samsung Electronics and graduated from KAIST.

We've studied 

• learning-to-learn (a.k.a meta-learning or few-shot learning) [c2, p1, c3, c4],

• unsupervised learning of compositional representation such as object-centric representation [c5, c6],

• and agent learning [w1, c6, c7, c8].

I am interested in the diverse ways to extend the generality of AI such as compositional representation or the agent learning with more extendable architectures.
