Minhyuk Seo

I'm a Research Associate in ESAT-PSI Lab at KU Leuven, advised by Prof. Tinne Tuytelaars.

My research focuses on human-like AI, inspired by how humans learn and evolve. In particular, I focus on (i) continual learning and (ii) collaborative learning, with the goal of enabling human-like learning that continually acquires knowledge over time and evolves through interaction with others.

I received my M.S. degree in Computer Science at Yonsei University under the supervision of Prof. Jonghyun Choi and B.S. degree in Computer Science from the same university. During my M.S., I was fortunate to work as a research intern at the Advanced Machine Learning team in LG AI research (2023).
