We are a research group headed by Prof. Jaekyun Moon in the School of EE at KAIST. We work on distributed and decentralized forms of machine learning, storage and communications, dealing with optimal ways to store, access and process big data in today's densely connected world. Distributed and decentralized ways of data storage and machine learning are essential in the era of IoT, big data and connected AI.

About & Contact

We are looking for integrated MS/PhD candidates in areas of machine learning (with emphasis on distributed learning, low-data learning and low-complexity learning) and distributed storage. Interested candidates may contact Prof. Jaekyun Moon via email (jmoon@kaist.edu).

Research Areas: distributed/decentralized machine learning, learning on low data, and hardware-friendly learning algorithms, all using various theoretical tools and insights from the fields of communications, signal processing, statistics and information theory.
