​JINYOUNG YEO (여진영) 

I am an AI Research Scientist at T-Brain (in SKT AI Research Center). I am interested in bridging the gap between human and machine knowledge by knowledge harvesting, integration, transfer, and generation. Here is a presentation why I care.

I received my Ph.D degree in Computer Science and Engineering from POSTECH, Korea in 2018. During my graduate study, I worked at the Data Intelligence (DI) Lab with Prof. Seung-won Hwang as my advisor. I was an intern at Adobe (San Jose, CA) in 2016 and 2015. I received the B.S degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Kyungpook National University, Korea in 2012.
