Work
-
2020 - 2021 Artificial Intelligence Researcher
Center for Army Analysis and Simulations, Republic of Korea Army - Built data integration and oversampling pipeline using R and SQL to augment Army training data, mitigate class imbalance, and train SVM classifier enabling internal wildfire risk modeling in place of external indices
- Resolved meteorological data deficiencies by integrating Army training data with Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) databases via temporal and geospatial variables using SQL queries
- Addressed severe class imbalance using generative model–based synthetic oversampling of wildfire cases
- Pipeline development and data analysis results published in Journal of Classification as co–first author, collaborating with Army officers; contributed to pipeline implementation and real-data analysis
- Enhanced pipeline with cost-sensitive training and derived theoretical guarantee, leading to first-author publication in "Computational Statistics & Data Analysis"; contributed to theory development, experiments, and writing
- Built data integration and oversampling pipeline using R and SQL to augment Army training data, mitigate class imbalance, and train SVM classifier enabling internal wildfire risk modeling in place of external indices
