About Me

Kang Jinho

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas, advised by Prof. Yunhui Guo . Prior to my Ph.D., I received my M.S. in Artificial Intelligence and B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Seoul. During my M.S., I was advised by Prof. Kyungwoo Song at Yonsei University and Prof. Jiyoung Jung at the University of Seoul.

My research focuses on building reliable and robust artificial intelligence systems. I currently study how Vision-Language Models (VLMs) generalize and adapt in open-world, non-stationary, and distributionally shifting environments.

My Projects

GitHub

Multi Query Frequency Prompting for Domain Adaptation

Novel prompt-learning framework that enhances deep learning models for blood pressure prediction from PPG signals by improving robustness and adaptation to diverse datasets and conditions.

Sequential Cluster Regression for COVID Epidemiology

Developed a machine learning model using a Transformer to predict the infection spread and duration of coronavirus clusters by embedding and processing both cluster and patient information.

Data Augmentation of PPG Signals Through Guided Diffusion

Address data imbalance in medical datasets by using regressor-guided diffusion models to generate high-quality, diverse PPG signals, significantly enhancing Arterial Blood Pressure predictions.

Causal Discovery in Photoplethysmography Attributes

Uncovering causal relationships among PPG signals and diverse physiological attributes (e.g., race, age) to enable robust and accurate arterial blood pressure (ABP) estimation.

Failure-Aware Causal Modeling through FMEA-Driven LLM Adaptation

Leveraging domain-specific technical documents from the automotive industry to pretrain and adapt LLMs for generating accurate, component-targeted FMEA scenarios via causal reasoning.
