Cheyon Jin

Hi! I'm a research intern at Vision & Learning Lab in Seoul National University, under the supervision of Gunhee Kim.

My research interest lies in Natural Language Processing (NLP), particularly in advancing large language models toward human-like cognition, with a focus on reasoning, reinforcement learning, and multimodal systems to address both foundational challenges and practical applications.

Comparing Multiple Candidates (CMC) framework addresses the issue of error propagation from bi-encoders and expensive cross-encoders by comparing a query and multiple embeddings of similar candidates (i.e., neighbors) through shallow self-attention layers, delivering rich representations contextualized to each other.
