Yeda Song

Hi! I am a Master's student in the interdisciplinary AI program at Seoul National University, under the supervision of Gunhee Kim.

My research interest lies in deep reinforcement learning (RL), particularly in devising intelligent agents capable of solving novel tasks. I believe such a goal can be achieved by learning proper abstractions, utilizing language models, and taking model-based approaches.

MPChat: Towards Multimodal Persona-Grounded Conversation

CODE / arXiv

We construct a multimodal persona-grounded dialogue dataset, MPChat, accompanied with entailment labels. The multimodal persona consists of image-text pairs that represent one's episodic memories. We show the role of visual modality is crucial in MPChat through three benchmark tasks.

Ongoing Projects
Skill Discovery with Human Feedback: investigating the potential of human feedback for discovering complex temporal abstractions, or ‘skills’, within the context of RL
Offline Model-Based RL for Distributional Shift: tackling the problem of distributional shift in offline RL (batch RL) with model-based RL approaches
