Hwaran Lee

Hi! I am a lead research scientist at NAVER AI Lab, working on natural language processing and machine learning.

My research is committed to understanding humanity and society to further develop human-like and trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. Recent primary interests has been building trustworthy and safe Large Language Models (LLMs), with a focus on: (1) construction of safety datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation metrics; (2) controllable language generation; (3) LLM security, including adversarial attack and red-teaming; (4) safety alignment and learning methods.

I obtained Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2018. During my Ph.D., I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Soo-Young Lee. In 2012, I obtained B.S. in Mathematical Science at KAIST. Before joining NAVER AI Lab, I worked at SK T-Brain as a research scientist from 2018 to 2021.
