Introduction to Myself, Taegun An, Github page, May 2024

My research interests lie in efficient and explainable neural architecture design, including NAS, optimization, and parameter–performance trade-offs. I like asking how much performance we can squeeze out of an architecture—before simply throwing more parameters at it.
