Professor Jaemin Yoo's research lab specializes in machine learning and data mining with a focus on graph representation learning, time series forecasting, and knowledge distillation. The lab develops efficient and scalable deep learning models for real-world applications such as financial prediction, graph-based inference, and multivariate time series analysis, emphasizing model efficiency, generalization, and privacy-preserving knowledge transfer. Key research directions include self-supervised and weakly supervised representation learning, model-agnostic data augmentation, and end-to-end optimization for structured data. The lab also addresses practical challenges in industrial and medical domains by designing methods that work under data scarcity and confidentiality constraints.

How can we efficiently correlate multiple stocks for accurate stock movement prediction? Stock movement prediction has received growing interest in data mining and machine learning communities due to its substantial impact on financial markets. One way to improve the prediction accuracy is to utilize the correlations between multiple stocks, getting a reliable evidence regardless of the random noises of individual prices. However, it has been challenging to acquire accurate correlations between
Knowledge distillation is to transfer the knowledge of a large neural network into a smaller one and has been shown to be effective especially when the amount of training data is limited or the size of the student model is very small. To transfer the knowledge, it is essential to observe the data that have been used to train the network since its knowledge is concentrated on a narrow manifold rather than the whole input space. However, the data are not accessible in many cases due to the privacy
Given a graph with partial observations of node features, how can we estimate the missing features accurately? Feature estimation is a crucial problem for analyzing real-world graphs whose features are commonly missing during the data collection process. Accurate estimation not only provides diverse information of nodes but also supports the inference of graph neural networks that require the full observation of node features. However, designing an effective approach for estimating high-dimensio
Given a graph dataset, how can we augment it for accurate graph classification? Graph augmentation is an essential strategy to improve the performance of graph-based tasks, and has been widely utilized for analyzing web and social graphs. However, previous works for graph augmentation either a) involve the target model in the process of augmentation, losing the generalizability to other tasks, or b) rely on simple heuristics that lead to unreliable results. In this work, we introduce five desire
Given a multivariate time series, how can we forecast all of its variables efficiently and accurately?The multivariate forecasting, which is to predict the future observations of a multivariate time series, is a fundamental problem closely related to many real-world applications.However, previous multivariate models suffer from large model sizes due to the inefficiency of capturing complex intra-variable patterns and inter-variable correlations, resulting in poor accuracy.In this work, we propos
Given an undirected network where some of the nodes are labeled, how can we classify the unlabeled nodes with high accuracy? Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) is an inference algorithm widely used for this purpose with various applications including fraud detection, malware detection, web classification, and recommendation. However, previous methods based on LBP have problems in modeling complex structures of attributed networks because they manually and heuristically select the most important para
How can we classify graph-structured data only with positive labels? Graph-based positive-unlabeled (PU) learning is to train a binary classifier given only the positive labels when the relationship between examples is given as a graph. The problem is of great importance for various tasks such as detecting malicious accounts in a social network, which are difficult to be modeled by supervised learning when the true negative labels are absent. Previous works for graph-based PU learning assume tha
How can we model node representations to accurately infer the signs of missing edges in a signed social graph? Signed social graphs have attracted considerable attention to model trust relationships between people. Various representation learning methods such as network embedding and graph convolutional network (GCN) have been proposed to analyze signed graphs. However, existing network embedding models are not end-to-end for a specific task, and GCN-based models exhibit a performance degradatio
How can we solve semi-supervised node classification in various graphs possibly with noisy features and structures? Graph neural networks (GNNs) have succeeded in many graph mining tasks, but their generalizability to various graph scenarios is limited due to the difficulty of training, hyperparameter tuning, and the selection of a model itself. Einstein said that we should "make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." We rephrase it into the careful simplicity principle: a carefully
Given graph-structured data, how can we train a robust classifier in a semi-supervised setting that performs well without neighborhood information? In this work, we propose belief propagation networks (BPN), a novel approach to train a deep neural network in a hard inductive setting, where the test data are given without neighborhood information. BPN uses a differentiable classifier to compute the prior distributions of nodes, and then diffuses the priors through the graphical structure, indepen
Given feature-based data, how can we accurately classify individual input and interpret the result of it? Ensemble models are often the best choice in terms of accuracy when dealing with feature-based datasets. However, interpreting the decision made by the ensemble model for individual input seems intractable. On the other hand, decision trees, although being prone to overfit, are considered as the most interpretable in terms of being able to trace the decision process of individual input. In t
How can we run graphical inference on large graphs efficiently and accurately? Many real-world networks are modeled as graphical models, and graphical inference is fundamental to understand the properties of those networks. In this work, we propose a novel approach for fast and accurate inference, which first samples a small subgraph and then runs inference over the subgraph instead of the given graph. This is done by the bounded treewidth (BTW) sampling, our novel algorithm that generates a sub
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as a promising alternative to create supervisory signals to real-world problems, avoiding the extensive cost of manual labeling. SSL is particularly attractive for unsupervised tasks such as anomaly detection (AD), where labeled anomalies are rare or often nonexistent. A large catalog of augmentation functions has been used for SSL-based AD (SSAD) on image data, and recent works have reported that the type of augmentation has a significant impact on acc
