교원소개

우리 연구실은 차세대 인공지능 알고리즘/구조 개발과 딥러닝 학습에 대한 이론적 분석 연구를 수행하고 있습니다. 주로 차세대 인공지능 기술이 풀어내야할 다음과 같은 난제들을 해결하는데 집중하고 있습니다. 궁극적으로는 막대한 학습 데이터에 의존하지 않으면서(data-efficient learning), 연속적인 학습이 가능하며(life-long learning), 학습된 적 없는 데이터/작업에도 높은 일반화를 가지면서(generalization) 분산된 데이터/연산 상황에서도 학습이 가능한(decentralized learning) 차세대 인공지능 알고리즘/구조 그리고 이론에 대해 연구하고 있습니다.
