Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: How many students will you take?
  • A: I am planning to admit 2~3 students (M.S., M.S. + Ph.D., Ph.D., 석사, 석박통합, 박사) for 2026.

  • Q: Where will the lab be located?
  • A: Our lab will be located in Seoul. While the exact location is yet to be determined, it will most likely be at the KAIST Seoul campus (85 Hoegi-ro, Dongdaemun-gu) during 2026~2027. In 2028, KAIST AI is scheduled to move to a brand new building in Pangyo✨—the Silicon Valley of Korea.

  • Q: What do you expect from prospective students?
  • A: I expect you to be self-motivated and passionate about research. You should be open to learning new things and able to adapt quickly in the fast-evolving field of AI. (I know—it just keeps getting faster and faster, right? 😅) You should also enjoy collaborating with others and actively participating in research discussions within the lab. In terms of coursework, you should have taken several AI-related classes (e.g., ML, NLP, CV, RL). As for technical skills, you should be comfortable using Python and PyTorch, and familiar with at least one training framework (e.g., trl, verl, open-instruct, or nemo-skills).
