I am a Research Scientist of the Voice&Avatar Team at NAVER Cloud AI.

I do research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), and NLP for Speech Synthesis. Lately, my focus has been on the learning models for multilingual language understanding, and text-processing front-end for following Text-to-Speech (TTS) services. I have developed multilingual large-scale language models (LLMs), including Indo-European Languages and Korean, and deployed them to AI products that are actively utilized in NAVER’s services. Furthermore, these findings have been shared at top-tier ML conferences.
