Junyoung Seo
I'm a 5th-year Ph.D. student at KAIST AI , advised by Professor Seungryong Kim .
My research focuses on machine learning and computer vision, with particular emphasis on large-scale generative models like diffusion models for video, 3D, and 4D representations.
Recently, I've been focusing on world simulation models with real-world grounding, visual reasoning for enhanced visual generation, and efficient cross-caching mechanisms between large-scale and compact video models.
