I collected every public review on OpenReview for ICLR, NeurIPS, and ICML. ICLR submissions grew 19-fold in eight years, and one in five now has 'LLM' in the title, yet those papers are accepted at exactly the average rate.

I decomposed a year of hourly district-to-district flows in the Seoul metropolitan area into a handful of hidden travel motives, using flow counts only. Six motives match a static model with 463,000 parameters, the commuting motives move with subway smart-card counts (correlation 0.66–0.77), and on festival and rally days the model leaves +44–56% unexplained arrivals in Yeouido-dong.

A scientist-engineer is someone who uses technology to realize the ideals they envision, and as technology advances, so does the importance of the ethical responsibility and humanistic literacy that come with designing and using it.
Schopenhauer's philosophy emphasizes the importance of human creativity and will, and argues that Korea's education system must move beyond simply transmitting knowledge toward cultivating dreams and imagination.
Through the anime 'Patema Inverted,' this piece revisits the notion of being 'upside down' as something that grows out of refusing to acknowledge the other, and argues for an education that values independent thinking and the joy of learning.
Sometimes, just like walking through a storm without an umbrella, navigating the uncertain path of a startup requires us to shed the fears imposed by society and trust our innate ability to move forward despite the obstacles.
