I am an undergraduate student at Sungkyunkwan University interested in language models, retrieval-augmented generation, preference optimization,autonomous data agents. I use this blog to organize paper reviews, math notes, and implementation-oriented study logs.

Research Interests

  • Retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search
  • Reasoning agents for structured data analysis
  • Embedding models and contrastive learning
  • LLM alignment and preference optimization
  • Reinforcement Learning
  • Multimodal reasoning for planning and control
  • Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and embodied AI

Currently Studying About

  • Foundation model architectures and pre-training
  • LLM reasoning, ReAct-style workflows, and verification
  • Machine learning fundamentals and mathematical intuition
  • Course notes from operating systems, networks, and ML

Background 수학 문제 해결은 Small Language Model (SLM)에게는 어려운 과제로 여겨진다. 최근 연구에 따르면 모델 자체의 성능만으로 GSM8K benchmark (초등학생 수학 문제)에서 80% 이상의 성능을 달성하기 위해서는 최소 34B paramete...
