    https://ai.googleblog.com/2019/09/announcement-of-2019-fellowship.html A Ph.D. student Sungjoon Park (advisor: Prof. Alice Oh) was awarded the 2019 Google Ph.D. Fellowship in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) area. Google has been conducting the Google Ph.D. Fellowship Program from 2009 to spotlight Ph.D. candidates who are doing outstanding work in the field of computer science. The awardees are granted ten thousand dollars worth of scholarship and become connected with Google's specialists in each field as mentors to discuss the research and get feedback. This year, a total of fifty Ph.D. students worldwide were awarded, including three Korean students out of ten students in East Asia. Sungjun Park’s research on Computational Psychotherapy via machine learning (ML) -based NLP has enabled him to award the fellowship. Throughout his Ph.D. years, Sungjun Park proposed to adapt distributed representations, which are generally used in the ML-based NLP area, to Korean. In addition, he presented methods of analyzing trained distributed representation at the annual conference of the association for computational linguistics (ACL) and the conference on empirical methods in natural language processing (EMNLP) in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Recently, he proposed criteria to classify psychological counseling clients’ utterance according to their factor in the counseling dialogue and presented at the annual conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL). In addition, he is actively working on artificial neural network-based dialogue model generation, complex emotion extraction and prediction from the text, and developing computational psychotherapy applications.

  • Produced Amazon AWS AI Startup Challenge Award and..

    Elice, a programming education startup that was established by KAIST's computer science Ph.D. students, was awarded at AWS AI Startup Challenge hosted by Amazon last year and produced some 80 related talent through data science education management. Elice operates an online programming education platform to effectively manage and operate large-scale computerized education in enterprises or educational institutions. Currently, the online coding platform is provided as a major service by introducing an environment that can be coded online without separate IDE, a free-material code evaluation system that applies grading code intended by professors, a system that prevents cheating, and pair-programming. In recognition of its technical skills, it won the AWS AI Startup Challenge last year, a competition that competes with domestic startups that operate leading technologies and services in the field of artificial intelligence deep learning. In addition, it produced more than 80 talents in related fields last year through an artificial intelligence data science program that has been operating since 2017. The program's faculty consists of KAIST and some of the best scholars in the field of artificial intelligence in Korea. Demo Day, which introduces students' projects, features major Korean IT companies such as Kakao, Naver, Samsung Electronics, and LG Electronics, as well as leading startups such as Baemin, K-Mong, and Rainist. Park Jin-woo, an engineer at Samsung Electronics who participated in the program, said, "The results of students were better than I thought, and I think it would be a good opportunity for the company if it was connected to recruitment." A trainee said, "It is meaningful that we can get advice on our career path through interviews with a business executive." The program is responsible for creating cases in which past graduates have employed at major IT companies such as Naver, NCsoft, Kakao, and PUBG, and for filling the needs of big data talent increased during the 4th Industrial Revolution. An Elice source said, "We will strive to develop technologies to create a smoother programming environment, and we will lower entry barriers and develop curriculums to foster the skills needed by technology companies so that anyone can receive coding education in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution." Elice is currently actively used by major Korean universities and companies, including KAIST, SK Telecom, and Samsung, and recently attracted series A investment from Altos Ventures.

    KAIST School of Computing Ph.D. graduate Junghwan Lee, and M.S. student Heechan Shin (advisor: Prof. Sungeui Yoon) won the Best Paper in Robotic Planning award at the ICAR 2017, held last July 10 through 12 at Hong Kong. The award recognized their research on data-driven kinodynamic RRT. This research was on a method for constructing a database of known possible states and inputs of a kidonynamic robot’s movements for future reference, such that robots can simply search the database. By removing the need to calculate the inputs in real time, the research greatly reduces the computational load of robotic movement. Lee has a history of outstanding academic achievement, having published multiple papers at various internationally renowned journals and conferences during the course of his Ph.D. years, including the IEEE Transaction on Robotics (TRO), International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), and the International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Systems (IROS). Advisor: Prof. Sungeui Yoon, 1 st Author: Junghwan Lee, 2 nd Author: Heechan Shin IICAR 2017 Website: http://www.ee.cuhk.edu.hk/~qhmeng/icar2017/index.htm We offer our most sincere congratulations on their success.
