Research Interests

Machine Unlearning
Removing targeted information from trained generative models without retraining, and verifying that it is erased rather than merely suppressed.
Model Interpretability
Reading what a model stores in its internal representations and editing it there — the layer where removal actually has to happen.

ESIAN: Training-Free Continual Speaker Identity Erasure for Zero-Shot TTS

Jimin Kim, Tae-Young Lee, Jinju Kim, Gyeong-Moon Park, Jong Hwan Ko

Under review at ICLR 2027

Removes a speaker from a zero-shot TTS model in closed form — no retraining — so repeated removal requests compose exactly instead of degrading the model.

Projects

Feature-level image synthesis for industrial anomaly detection

Industry project with SEMES · IRIS Lab, Sungkyunkwan University

Semiconductor inspection has almost no defect images to train on. I built a framework that synthesizes them at the feature level — fusing continuous memory representations of normal and anomalous features, then guiding defect placement with a detector's reconstruction residuals — and studied training under severe class imbalance. Evaluated on MVTec AD.

Sep 2024 – Feb 2026

Audio signal processing and spoofed-speech detection

Industry–academia project with Samsung Research · IRIS Lab, Sungkyunkwan University

Studied direction-of-arrival estimation for multi-channel audio, and trained AASIST-based detectors of synthetic speech on ASVspoof 5 and ASVspoof 2019, measuring how far they generalize to deepfake and TTS systems never seen in training.
