Research Topics 

We mainly focus on developing deep learning algorithms to solve many problems in the computer vision field. Including general tasks in computer vision such as classification or detection, we also study applicable work like generative models(GAN and diffusion models), depth estimation, medical imaging, noisy data, semantic segmentation, etc. Besides, there are many research on the fundamental structure of neural networks such as network minimization and architecture search in our laboratory. Our various research topics and details can be found in the Research and Publication section.
Deep Learning Applications
Our research topics in application of deep learning are focused on generative models (GAN, diffusion models), multi-modal learning, autonomous driving (depth estimation, object tracking), and anomaly detection (manufacturing, medical imaging).
Neural Network Architecture
Our research on neural network architectures aims to find the optimal structure for convolutional neural networks. Recent topics include vision transformer, designing new architectures, or new operations in the network, and automated architecture search.
Learning Methods
We study various topics in learning methods to solve problems in data used for training, such as noisy labels or biases. We also aim to improve the utilization of neural networks in real life through trustworthy ML, domain adaptation, and continual learning.
