Welcome to DISLab! We are dedicated to building trustworthy Agentic AI systems grounded in data-centric intelligence. We believe that intelligence does not emerge from model scale alone, but from how data is perceived, structured, remembered, and used throughout an agent's lifecycle. We study how data quality, data structure, and data utilization fundamentally shape an agent's ability to reason, act, and adapt in complex real-world environments. Our goal is to design AI agents that can operate reliably under noisy inputs, long contexts, and imperfect information.

Agent Perception

Understanding multi-modal and long-context signals across text, images, video, and other sensory inputs to perceive complex environments.

Agent Intelligence

Developing reasoning and decision-making capabilities that integrate world understanding with value alignment to enable purposeful and safe agent behavior.

Agent Memory

Designing memory and information compression mechanisms that organize, store, and retrieve knowledge over long horizons for consistent agent behaviors.

Agent Modeling

Building efficient and controllable agent models through knowledge distillation, compression, safety guardrails, and automatic evaluation.

We are recruiting MS students for Spring/Fall 2027 (1 Korean MS position). If you are interested in joining our lab for graduate studies, we strongly encourage you to apply for an internship first, as priority will be given to those with prior research experience in our group. Intern positions are always open. During the internship, students will work closely with graduate students on ongoing academic research projects and gain hands-on experience in conducting research, developing ideas, and contributing to publications.
You can catch up on our recent research on our YouTube channel.
