Jongwuk Lee

Associate professor

Department of Software

I am primarily interested in (1) recommendation systems, (2) information retrieval, (3) natural language processing, and (4) machine learning and data mining. Specifically, my research aims to develop cutting-edge machine learning models and algorithms for hyper-personalization on Web applications, such as recommendation systems and search engines. We also devise novel machine learning models that learn noisy and biased data effectively. Over the past three years, our lab has published 15+ papers at top-tier international conferences, including WWW, SIGIR, CIKM, WSDM, ICDM, NAACL, CVPR, and IJCAI in data mining, information retrieval, natural language processing, and machine learning research areas.
