👋 About Me
I’m a Master’s student studying Multimodal AI at KAIST’s Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI, advised by Professor Yong Man Ro. My work explores creativity, multimodality, and language of AI, driven by two research questions:
- How can we make AI unveil the complex and tacit context of human communication, and use it to assist human life?
- How can we make AI assist humans’ productive and creative activities, ultimately making human life safer, happier, and more convenient?
Motivated by these questions, I’m broadly interested in Computational Linguistics, Multimodal AI, World Models, Computational Creativity, and AI for Human.
I completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and French Language and Literature at Yonsei University, graduating summa cum laude (top 3%).

| Nov 08, 2025 | AAAI-26 Oral, 1st Co-Author I’m so happy to share a news that our paper has been accepted to AAAI-26 as oral presentation!! Do you think MLLMs understand sound as human understands? For some models, the answer is YES, for others, the answer is NO. GPT and Gemini seems to not infer the sound as humans does. However, Qwen2.5 resembled the result of experiment conducted by humans. Our research digged down to this question. This is the first paper I participated as co-author, researching with Jinhong Jeong and supervised by professor Youngjae Yu. I would like to appreciate all authors; Jinhong Jeong, Jaeyoung Lee, Seonah Han, and Youngjae Yu. Jinhong Jeong provided fabulous and deep insights with linguistics, leading the whole research. Jaeyoung Lee provided marvelous ideas with the research, helping to turn the idea of the research to consider mechanistic interpretability with our research. Seonah Han devoted a lot of effort with ideation during our meeting, and spent lots of effort in constructing and preprocessing the dataset. And, Youngjae Yu supervised our research a lot, always helped our research to think out of the box and to think about key questions that researchers would ask. I, Sunghyun Lee, took effort in constructing the dataset, set the experiments to be precise and persuasive (introducing semantic dimension for the experiment), and analyzed the attention layers. Here I share you the links: [github] [arxiv] See you in Singapore! |

| Sep 18, 2025 | Master’s Degree at KAIST I am pleased to announce my admission to KAIST (Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) for a Master’s degree program. I will enroll in March 2026 at the Kim Jaecheol AI Graduate School (김재철 AI 대학원) under the supervision of Professor Ro Yong Man. I am delighted to join IVY Lab & IVL Lab as a new member! Furthermore, I would like to express my sincere and profound gratitude to Professor Yu Young Jae (Seoul National University) for supervising and supporting all research activities during my undergraduate research internship period. All my participation and accomplishments during my undergraduate studies would not have been possible without the guidance of the professor and the members of the MIR lab. See you in Daejeon! |
