Seyoung Kim Graduate Student Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences University of California, Irvine Email : sykim at ics.uci.edu Office : CS/E 301

I am currently a Ph.D. student with Prof. Padhraic Smyth. My research interests are in machine learning and statistical modeling for real world data. Before coming to UC Irvine, I received B.S. degree in computer engineering from Seoul National University, Korea.
