OSI Lab Seminars

[previously] The ``RLHF Study Group’’ has been dissolved on 2025.01.05.

[previously] OSI Lab has divided the global seminar into several divisions based on the topics. I was in charge of the Theory division til 2024.06.11, when it dissolved and converted to ``RLHF Study Group.''

[previously] OSI Lab (led by Prof. Se-Young Yun) holds a weekly seminar where each of 2 members, whose orders are assigned based on a fixed circular order, presents a paper of his/her own interest. The seminar is called off only when it overlaps with some major conference or exam period.
