ABOUT ME
John Kim κΉ€λ™νœ˜

NJ, Seoul, and Shanghai.
I am a junior at the University of Notre Dame majoring in Computer Science. I research alongside Professor Nuno Moniz and we recently published a paper on relevance-aware algorithmic recourse, improving explainability of semi-autonomous decision-making models. Previously, I worked with him on analyzing ML cancer detection models that optimize hyperparameters through grid search.

In my free time, I like cooking and dancing. I'm also just getting into One Piece from constant recommendations by my friends, although I do enjoy k-dramas more. Anyways, feel free to reach out to discuss anything related to tech, food, and shows!
