NRF Early Career Research Grant (National Research Foundation)
2026-03-24 00:00:00 +0000
We have been selected for the National Research Foundation Early Career Research Program (우수신진연구), a highly competitive national research grant supporting emerging researchers in Korea.
The awarded project focuses on developing a hallucination-free on-device egocentric multimodal AI agent equipped with self-correction mechanisms. This research aims to address one of the most critical challenges in modern AI systems: ensuring reliability and trustworthiness in real-world, context-aware environments.
By integrating actor-validator architectures, RLAIF-based alignment, and dynamic precision optimization for on-device deployment, the project explores a new paradigm where AI systems can autonomously evaluate and refine their own outputs in real time.
This work is expected to contribute not only to advancing multimodal AI and on-device intelligence, but also to establishing a foundational framework for trustworthy AI systems that can safely operate in human-centered environments.

WCCA-AK is a large-scale dataset of 3D scans and multi-view images capturing 100 haute couture garments by André Kim (1962–2010), one of Korea’s most iconic fashion designers. This dataset bridges computer vision research and cultural heritage preservation, enabling both faithful documentation of historical artifacts and generative exploration of artistic vision.
NVIDIA Academic Grant for Researchers (NVIDIA)

The NVIDIA Academic Grant Program supports our research on building a Validator LLM designed to ensure logical consistency in generative AI explanations. This project focuses on moving beyond surface-level fluency in large language models by introducing a structured validation mechanism that can assess and refine the reasoning process itself.
Our approach adopts a dual-model architecture, where an actor LLM generates responses and explanations, and a validator LLM evaluates their logical coherence. By incorporating reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF), the system iteratively improves its ability to detect inconsistencies and hallucinations without relying solely on human supervision. In addition, we explore multi-pass reasoning and cross-model verification strategies to enhance robustness and reliability.
On the systems side, this research leverages NVIDIA’s optimized AI stack, including NeMo Framework and TensorRT-LLM, to ensure that the proposed validation pipeline is not only theoretically sound but also deployable in real-world environments with practical latency and scalability constraints.
Ultimately, this work aims to establish a foundation for trustworthy generative AI systems that can self-evaluate and provide explanations users can rely on, addressing one of the most critical challenges in the deployment of large-scale AI models.
Project Aria (Meta Reality Lab)
2025-07-16 00:00:00 +0000
Project Aria is a research initiative led by Meta Reality Labs aiming to develop next-generation augmented reality technologies. Through our academic partnership with Meta Reality Labs, we are currently developing an Egocentric Multimodal AI Agent leveraging Project Aria’s advanced wearable device, Aria Glass. By integrating real-time visual streams from cameras, Visual SLAM for precise spatial understanding, and sophisticated eye-tracking data, this collaboration seeks to enable context-aware, personalized AI interactions. Our goal is to explore how multimodal AI can interpret and seamlessly respond to users’ real-world environments, providing foundational insights for future AR and wearable computing applications.
