About

I am a master's student at Computer Vision Lab (advisor: Prof. Bohyung Han), Seoul National University (SNU). From June, 2020 to September 2020, I am doing an internship at Adobe Research under the guidance of Dr. Joong-Young Lee. During undergraduate study, I worked as a research intern at the lab and T-Brain. I also have spent great time with Prof. Joseph Lim at the University of Southern California and Prof. Byoung-Tak Zhang at BioIntelligence Lab, SNU

My research interests come from a question, "How people can learn from small amounts of data or coarse data such as noisy or weak-labeled data and why machine cannot?" My goal is applying cognitive science to machine learning vice versa to dig into this question. Meanwhile, I am also interested in machine learning approaches to solve this question. Shortly, I am interested in three fields as follows:

  • Cognitive Science: curiosity, procedural memory
  • Computer Vision: action recognition/localization, weakly-supervised instance segmentation, openset/long-tailed recognition
  • Reinforcement Learning: exploration strategies, dynamics randomization

Other Projects

Meta-Learned Suitability Assessor for Noisy Demonstration Sets
 Advisor : Joseph Lim
This project is for making a framework that selects suitable demonstration subsets in a noisy demonstraiton set including unsuitable demonstrations via meta learning. The model is able to automatically rank the suitability of given demonstrations so that it can learn from the most suitable subset. [paper], [project page]

Mar 2018 - Oct 2018
Style Recognition of Artworks
This project is a final project of undergraduate course, "Computer Vision(M 1522.001000, prof. Gun Hee Kim)" from March to June. According to the project, Using SVM and PCA with featured layer of CNN is better than using Deep Neural Network only. Accuracy of style recognition is higher than human expert.
