Deokjae Lee

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University, advised by Hyun Oh Song. I previously graduated from Seoul National University in 2020 with a B.S. in Mathematical Science. My research interests are combinatorial optimization and efficient machine learning. Also, I’m interested in natural language processing (NLP) and reinforcement learning (RL). I visited Prof. Kyunghyun Cho's group at New York University (NYU) from 2023/09 to 2024/02, working on active learning algorithms for combinatorial problems.

Publications
	Efficient Latency-Aware CNN Depth Compression via Two-Stage Dynamic Programming Jinuk Kim, Yeonwoo Jeong, Deokjae Lee, Hyun Oh Song International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2023 paper / code / bibtex We propose a subset selection optimization problem for depth compression which can be efficiently solved via two-stage dynamic programming.
	Query-Efficient Black-Box Red Teaming via Bayesian Optimization Deokjae Lee, JunYeong Lee, Jung-Woo Ha, Jin-Hwa Kim, Sang-Woo Lee, Hwaran Lee, Hyun Oh Song Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2023 paper / poster / code / bibtex We propose a novel query-efficient red teaming method, namely Bayesian red teaming (BRT), which identifies failures of black-box generative models by choosing and editing user inputs with GP surrogate models.
	Query-Efficient and Scalable Black-Box Adversarial Attacks on Discrete Sequential Data via Bayesian Optimization Deokjae Lee, Seungyong Moon, Junhyeok Lee, Hyun Oh Song International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2022 paper / poster / code / bibtex Crafting adversarial examples against language models is challenging due to its discrete nature and dynamic input size. We tackle these problems using Bayesian optimization and develop a query-efficient black-bax adversarial attack against various types of models.
	Optimal channel selection with discrete QCQP Yeonwoo Jeong, Deokjae Lee, Gaon An, Changyong Son, Hyun Oh Song International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics (AISTATS), 2022 paper / code / bibtex We propose a novel channel selection method that optimally selects channels via discrete QCQP, which provably prevents any inactive weights and guarantees to meet the resource constraints tightly in terms of FLOPs, memory usage, and network size.
