Kwangwook Seo

I’m a Ph.D. student in the Data & Language Intelligence (DLI) Lab at Yonsei University, advised by Prof. Dongha Lee.

If you're interested in collaborating on research or exploring new ideas together, please feel free to connect with me anytime! I welcome the opportunity to discuss potential projects and innovative approaches, and I'm always open to hearing from fellow researchers and enthusiasts.

                   

🔎 Research Interest

My research interests encompass a broad range of topics within the scope of natural language processing (NLP). Recently, I have been particularly interested in:

  • Knowledge Augmentation of LMs with external knowledge sources
  • Enhancing LM’s internal knowledge activation via curating synthetic post-training data and quality control
  • Personalized Agents and User Simulation in diverse real environments
  • Reasoning over structured knowledge (e.g., tables, graph, ...) with complex information beyond general text
