About the Lab

Professor Hyunwoo Kim's research lab specializes in machine learning and representation learning, with a strong focus on graph-structured data, multi-modal understanding, and structured prediction. The lab develops advanced deep learning models—such as Graph Transformer Networks and set-prediction frameworks—to address challenges in heterogeneous graphs, human-object interaction detection, and multi-label classification. Their work bridges theoretical foundations with real-world applications in computer vision, medical imaging, and distributed problem solving. They also explore geometric and manifold-valued learning to extend classical models like linear regression to complex data manifolds.

arXiv (Cornell University)OA

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used in representation learning on graphs and achieved state-of-the-art performance in tasks such as node classification and link prediction. However, most existing GNNs are designed to learn node representations on the fixed and homogeneous graphs. The limitations especially become problematic when learning representations on a misspecified graph or a heterogeneous graph that consists of various types of nodes and edges. In this paper, we propose Gr

HOTR: End-to-End Human-Object Interaction Detection with Transformers
Bumsoo Kim, Junhyun Lee, Jaewoo Kang, Eun‐Sol Kim, Hyunwoo J. Kim

Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection is a task of identifying "a set of interactions" in an image, which involves the i) localization of the subject (i.e., humans) and target (i.e., objects) of interaction, and ii) the classification of the interaction labels. Most existing methods have indirectly addressed this task by detecting human and object instances and individually inferring every pair of the detected instances. In this paper, we present a novel framework, referred by HOTR, which dir

Maximizing Subset Accuracy with Recurrent Neural Networks in Multi-label Classification
Jinseok Nam, Eneldo Loza Mencía, Hyunwoo J. Kim, Johannes Fürnkranz
Neural Information Processing Systems

Multi-label classification is the task of predicting a set of labels for a given input instance. Classifier chains are a state-of-the-art method for tackling such problems, which essentially converts this problem into a sequential prediction problem, where the labels are first ordered in an arbitrary fashion, and the task is to predict a sequence of binary values for these labels. In this paper, we replace classifier chains with recurrent neural networks, a sequence-to-sequence prediction algori

SJR Q1Neural NetworksOA

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been widely applied to various fields due to their powerful representations of graph-structured data. Despite the success of GNNs, most existing GNNs are designed to learn node representations on the fixed and homogeneous graphs. The limitations especially become problematic when learning representations on a misspecified graph or a heterogeneous graph that consists of various types of nodes and edges. To address these limitations, we propose Graph Transformer N

Linear regression is a parametric model which is ubiquitous in scientific analysis. The classical setup where the observations and responses, i.e., (x <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i</sub> , y <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i</sub> ) pairs, are Euclidean is well studied.

Statistical machine learning models that operate on manifold-valued data are being extensively studied in vision, motivated by applications in activity recognition, feature tracking and medical imaging. While non-parametric methods have been relatively well studied in the literature, efficient formulations for parametric models (which may offer benefits in small sample size regimes) have only emerged recently. So far, manifold-valued regression models (such as geodesic regression) are restricted

Randomly shuffled convolution for self-supervised representation learning

SJR Q1Information SciencesOA

Many self-supervised representation learning methods have achieved high performance in image classification tasks. However, these methods have limited performance on localization tasks such as object detection or semantic segmentation. Most self-supervised representation learning methods are optimized with only one global representation, which does not pay much attention to the spatial information in an image. We propose a simple and effective method that uses the positional relationships betwee

Probability density functions (PDFs) are fundamental objects in mathematics with numerous applications in computer vision, machine learning and medical imaging. The feasibility of basic operations such as computing the distance between two PDFs and estimating a mean of a set of PDFs is a direct function of the representation we choose to work with. In this paper, we study the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) representation of the PDFs motivated by its numerous attractive features. (1) GMMs are argua
