Hi, I am an incoming Ph.D. Student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Computer Science, advised by Prof. Dilek Hakkani-Tür. Previously I received my Master's degree at Korea University, advised by Prof. Pilsung Kang.

My main research interest is focused on solving problems arising from human-machine communication in the real-world. I’m also interested in conversational reasoning (e.g., dialogue system and question answering), knowledge-intensive NLP (e.g., retrieving information), broad range of long-context modeling, and making language models trustworthy.

[Feb 2024] Life update! I will start my Ph.D. journey at UIUC Computer Science starting from Fall 2024.
[Feb 2024] Our Entity Adaptive DST paper has been accepted to Knowledge-Based Systems Journal.
[Jun 2023] Our Entity Adaptive DST paper has been accepted to Knowledge NLP Workshop @ KDD 2023.
[May 2023] Our two papers have been accepted to ACL 2023 - Korean Sensitive QA Benchmark as Oral Presentation and Korean Bias Benchmark as Industry Track, respectively.
[Apr 2023] Excited to join LG AI Research as a Research Intern!
[Oct 2022] Our DST with Turnback paper has been accepted to SereTOD Workshop @ EMNLP 2022.
[Aug 2022] Graduated from Korea University.
[Jul 2022] Excited to join NAVER AI Lab as a Research Intern!
[May 2020] Will attend ACL 2022 in-person for poster presentation (May 22 - May 27, Dublin, Ireland).
[Feb 2022] Our Multi-turn DST Evaluation paper has been accepted to ACL 2022.
