About

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the KAIST School of Computing, advised by Alice Oh. My research interests are in developing models for learning representations of structured and unstructured knowledge. In particular, I have focused on (1) leveraging the inherent structures (e.g., edges and subgraphs) to learn graph-structured data [1, 2], (2) designing new structures for efficient representation learning of subgraphs [3], and (3) discovering structures from texts and knowledge graphs.
