Wooseok Seo

Hi! I am a 1st year PhD student at MIRLAB, part of the School of Computing at Yonsei University, advised by Prof. Youngjae Yu.

My research interest is in building trustworthy and interpretable AI Agents. Recently, I am specifically interested in:

  • Evaluating and Mitigating Hallucinations of Language Models: Is hallucination inevitable for LLMs? How can we develop truthful models and correctly evaluate them?
  • Interpreting and Monitoring Model Reasoning: Are language models producing faithful reasoning? If so, how can we leverage this to better understand and improve them? If not, how should we build more faithful models?

I am also interested in leveraging models to evaluate or improve other models, or utilizing them to augment human capabilities. Please reach me via email to chat about research! 🤗
