We need a system engineering approach to foster talented people like Professor Heo Jun. In May 1982, the computer development office in the Korea Electronics Technology Research Institute (formerly the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do, was so tense that even the sound of breath was barely heard. When the word "SNUCOM," which means Seoul National University computer, appeared on the monitor, the researchers clapped their hands and cheered. It was a message from the Seoul National University laboratory, 250 kilometers away from Gumi. It is the first 'moment of Internet connection' in Korea. It was the second time in the world after the United States. The person who led the project is Jeon Gil-Nam, an honorary professor at KAIST, who is ‘the father of the Korean Internet.' Jeon, who was born in Japan, graduated from Osaka University and received a doctoral degree in system engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Jeon worked as a researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory before he decided to return to Korea in 1979 at the age of 36. Professor Jeon started the history of Korea's Internet and laid the cornerstone for a leap forward as an Internet powerhouse today. He was also the only Korean to be inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012. This year is the 40th anniversary of the Internet's opening. Professor Jeon, who was met at his home in Hongeun-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul last week, said, "Korea is an Internet powerhouse, but it is not playing a leading role globally. Domestic Internet companies should also look beyond Korea to the world." ▷How does it feel to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Korean Internet? "In fact, in the 1980s, I didn't think we would develop this much. It was a difficult time to live in Korea. At that time, international organizations such as UNESCO mentioned the Philippines and Thailand in addition to Japan, as countries where computer networking is possible within a few years. Some in our government and academia also claimed it was "useless research," but we pushed ahead. But there's something I'm sad about right now. In the 1980s, we were one of the leading countries in the telecommunications sector, but now I don't think so. The United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany are leading the field.” ▷ Still, isn't Korea's Internet speed the best in the world? "It's not that important to have the best speed. If we're going to say that we're using the Internet well, we have to act as leaders. Korea is no longer included in the discussion of global Internet governance (management system). Not only engineers can do it, but we all have to work together. I don't think we handled the side effects of the Internet well. We could not properly deal with security and malicious comments since we focused only on the development part. ▷Domestic Internet companies such as Naver and Kakao are not playing a big role in a global society. "Korean companies are working hard, but I think they are mostly targeting the domestic market. About 10-20% of domestic companies should be venture companies that target the global market. We are capable. There are a lot of people who go to America to study. We should also think about making good use of overseas resources. We can lead fields such as Blockchain, Web 3.0, NFT (non-replaceable token), and so on. We need to develop more talented people at the national level." ▷What efforts will be needed to develop the Korean startup ecosystem? "There is nothing to lose with our ability. But I think the education system needs to be improved. If you go to Stanford University in the U.S., there is a course where computer science majors and business majors devise startup items together. If you think the project is good, it leads to starting a business. There's no reason we can't do that either. In Korea, quite a few ventures are coming out of universities, so I hope we can try that." ▷When the April 19 Revolution broke out, you said you thought you should return to Korea. "It was when I was a senior in high school. In Korea, April 19 occurred, and in Japan, there was a similar incident (a protest against the revision of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty). All the university students and high school students in Osaka were there. There were about 5,000 high school students, and I was going to speak as a representative of all students. However, when I read the draft of the speech, "To protect our democracy...” I couldn't get the word "our country" out of my mouth. That was the moment I realized that I'm Korean.” ▷ I heard that you liked math since you were young. "I didn't really like other subjects. Math was attractive because it has a clear answer after thinking for a long time. But I didn't think about majoring in math. So many people were smarter than me. I didn't think I was that smart. And then I thought I should do 'applied mathematics' and I studied computer." ▷ Why can't Korea get a Nobel Prize in science? "When I go abroad, I get similar questions a lot. Objectively speaking, why isn't there a Nobel Prize even though they are good at studying and have a high economic level? Korea should get one every five years or one every 10 years considering the level. I realized that it wasn't all of a sudden that a person won the Nobel Prize, but he or she who received the lower level of the prize before, and eventually went up to the Nobel Prize. We need to make that kind of effort. This should also be approached as 'system engineering'. We need to check and change whether our education system is optimized to foster global talent. Professor Heo Jun, who received the Fields Medal, which is the Nobel Prize in mathematics, also did not feel much interest in mathematics in the Korean public education system. Then, he met Professor Heisuke Hironaka and walked the path as a mathematician. Then he met a new turning point while doing post-doc (post-doctoral researcher) at Princeton University in the U.S ▷ You have been engaged in various activities even after you retired from KAIST. "Seniors that I respect still don't have any thoughts on retirement, and I want to work hard like them. The closest one that I've been in touch with lately is Professor David Farber. He's called the Grandfather of the Internet. Professor Faber is nearly 90 years old and is now the head of the Cyber Civilization Research Center at Keio University in Japan. I invited him to Korea this time. He will give a lecture at KAIST and Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.” ▷ I heard that you also like sports, and went to the United States recently. "I've liked mountain climbing since I was in middle school. This summer, I tracked the High Sierra area near Yosemite National Park in the U.S. with my wife (Cho Hye-Jung, Honorary Professor of Yonsei University)." (Professor Jeon is a famous sports enthusiast.) In 1980, he succeeded in climbing the three northern walls of Europe (Matterhorn, Grand Zoras, and Iger) and received the National Medal of Merit, Girin Medal. ▷ What do you want to do in the future? "In 10 years, it will be the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Internet in Korea. So we're preparing for an event. I don't think I'm going to take the initiative anymore, but I am trying to give help. Maybe the next event will be the 100th anniversary, and that should be done by the next generation.” Related Articles: KAIST Laboratory in Jeon Gil-Nam is the first generation venture laboratory Broadcast contents: Gu Bon-Kwon: Jeon Gil-name, the beginning of the Internet

  • SW Disaster Research Center at Kyungpook National ..

    Reference Article: https://www.etnews.com/20220624000148 (2022-06-26) This content is from the press article "Developing technology that dramatically improves the performance of SW error analyzer" by Professor Kihong Heo's research team in the School of Computing. < KAIST Professor Kihong Heo (left) and POSTECH Professor Kyungmin Bae (right) > Kyungpook National University's Software Disaster Research Center (STAAR, Center Director: Yun Ja Choi) developed a technology that dramatically improves the performance of 'Symbolic Execution', a technical tool to detect software errors and security vulnerabilities. This work has received favorable reviews from related societies. The related academic publication won the Best Paper Award and the Best Artifact Award at the 'ICSE 2022', the most prestigious international academic conference in the field of SW engineering. In addition, the work was selected at 'CAV 2022', a renowned international conference in the field of computer system verification, and is evaluated as leading research in related fields. The development was co-led by Professor Hakjoo Oh's team at Korea University, which is also participating as a co-researching team in the STAAR, and Professor Kihong Heo's research team at KAIST. Professor Sooyoung Cha's research team at Sungkyunkwan University also participated in the joint research. Symbolic execution is a technique used to detect security vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is a useful tool to detect potential software security errors and vulnerabilities, but the tool is difficult to tune for optimal performance even by experts. The research team has developed an automatic tuning technology that allows non-expert users to use symbol execution technology easily. It showed a significantly higher (over 30%) error detection performance compared to the symbol execution tuned by an expert. Professor Kihong Heo's team at KAIST received the Best Artifact Award for proposing a framework for the 'Bayesian Alarm Ranking System' learning method to improve the usability of the SW error detection system that uses program static analysis. The Best Artifact Award is given to researchers who have provided the foundation for subsequent research by transparently disclosing all implementation methods and data to the academic community as well as outstanding research achievements. The Bayesian Alarm Ranking System is a next-generation SW error detection system that Professor Heo has been researching since 2018. In addition, Professor Kyungmin Bae of POSTECH, who is participating in the SW Disaster Research Center, plans to present a technology that verifies the safety and reliability of software that controls physical gadgets such as autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and smart factories, at CAV 2022 in August. “The research achievements and awards prove that our center is leading the automatic software disaster error detection technology, which is one of our main research goals,” said Yun Ja Choi, the head of the SW Disaster Research Center. "It will serve as an important stepping stone toward a safe software-oriented society", she added. Kyungpook National University SW Disaster Research Center was selected as the Engineering Research Center (ERC) for the Leading Research Center Support Project hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT last year. It is currently building an integrated framework to quickly detect and respond to disasters caused by software malfunctions.

  • Ringle announced its ‘AI-Based Customized Learning..

    This article is about the AI ​​learning system jointly developed by Professor Juho Kim's research team in our school and Ringle. An AI-based customized learning system presented by Professor Juho Kim's research team is scheduled to be part of the Ringle service in the second half of this year. Ringle, which provides one-on-one video English learning services with tutors from prestigious universities in the United States, announced on the 2nd at the American Computer Association Learning at Scale (ACM Learning at Scale 2022) academic conference, that it developed an AI learning system through a joint research project with KAIST Professor Juho Kim’s Interaction Lab. The RLens system, presented by Professor Juho Kim's team at the conference, uses AI to analyze the content of one-on-one English lessons and diagnose learners' English proficiency in three areas: Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency. Through this diagnosis, the learner can understand his/her learning achievement from a multi-dimensional perspective. The RLens system was developed to improve upon the flat diagnosis used by most existing evaluation systems including accredited certification tests, which represents the learner's English proficiency with a single score. Rather than assessing English proficiency based on scores in listening, reading, speaking, and writing fields, the RLens system diagnoses proficiency in three dimensions - complexity, accuracy, and fluency, which are the main axes of language proficiency in pedagogical theory. A learner's ability in each dimension is judged based on the following criteria: Complexity is the ability to use complex and diverse structures of English. Accuracy is the ability to use grammatically and semantically correct expressions. Fluency is the ability to speak fluently without pauses. The RLens system provides diagnosis through artificial intelligence, as well as goal setting for skill improvement and appropriate learning recommendations. It also includes a feature in which AI tracks whether the learner has fully absorbed the tutor's feedback and does not repeat the same mistakes. “The cycle of skill diagnosis, goal setting, and learning recommendation is a system that is one step closer to truly one-on-one personalized learning,” explained KAIST Professor Juho Kim about the RLens system. Professor Juho Kim joined Ringle in March of this year and will be working together for a year while on his sabbatical year. He is currently in charge of the commercialization of research content. “I am delighted that the papers containing the results of research conducted jointly with Ringle over the past two years have been accepted one after another at global conferences. We plan to accelerate product development so that the research contents can be reflected in the Ringle service in the second half of the year,” added Professor Kim. Ringle's Co-Founder Sungpah Lee said, “If the research results are reflected, Ringle will be reborn as a true AI-based learning service. At first, AI is mainly planned to be applied to provide customized learning to learners, but in the future, the scope will be expanded to improve the quality of education through interactions between native English tutors and AI. AI will improve with the tutor’s input and will also be able to correct mistakes or errors that tutors make when correcting learners’ English.” Professor Juho Kim's team has published work on an analysis of Ringle's learning method at another world-class educational technology conference called Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) in March of this year. The researchers named Ringle's learning method, in which a learner takes classes with multiple instructors, a distributed tutorship and analyzed the aspects of distributed tutorship for the first time in the world through data collected from 16,000 learners, 500 questionnaires, and 40 interviews. According to the study, 40% of learners meet a new tutor for each session.
