Dong-Ho Lee (이동호)

PhD Candidate @ (dongho.lee[at]usc.edu)

I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science with a specialization in ML/NLP at the University of Southern California, Information Science Institute. Under the guidance of Prof. Jay Pujara from the Knowledge Graph Center at ISI, and in collaboration with Prof. Xiang Ren, my research endeavors center around Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Graphs, and Machine Learning.

My primary objective is to develop robust forecasting systems that significantly influence decision-making and safety across various sectors. To realize this, I am exploring large language models (LLMs) in following directions:

  • LLM as general sequence modeler for statistical forecasting: Leveraging the in-context learning ability of LLM with historical data to model patterns in a zero-shot manner. [Paper 1]
  • LLM as world model for judgmental forecasting: Employing LLM to simulate human judgment in forecasting scenarios and applying those simulations.
  • Agent system: Building a helpful assistant for financial-decision making with [Product]

I was a research intern at (2023 with Francesco Barbieri) and (2022 with Sujay Jauhar). I am closely working with Sungjoon Park and Jihyung Moon at to build AI agent products (financial decision, medical).
