About Me

Nice to meet you! I am Minjoon (Miles) Choi, a senior undergraduate student majoring Computer Science & Engineering at Seoul National University.

I am interested in and performing research on the behavior of language models, especially when facing external knowledge that conflicts with their internal parametric memory.

I have worked for 3 years as a software developer at Dunamu, a Fin-Tech corporation that developed Korea’s #1 digital asset exchange Upbit.

Research Interests

Natural Language: question answering, knowledge conflicts, enhancing the controllability and robustness of language models
