Jae Y. Choi

Computer Science undergraduate at DGIST

I research large language models, multimodal AI, and human-computer interaction. My work includes building training and evaluation pipelines, developing LLM agents, curating research data, and studying how people and research communities engage with AI systems.

    I am interested in questions that cross technical and human-centered perspectives: how models are trained and evaluated, where they fail, and what people actually need from them.

    Large Language Models

    LLM agents, retrieval-augmented generation, training pipelines, and model evaluation.

    Multimodal AI

    Systems that learn from and reason across multiple modalities, including data generation and curation.

    Human–Computer Interaction

    Interdisciplinary research practices and the relationship between AI systems and human needs.

    Manuscript in preparation · Second author
