Jang-hyun Kim is a machine learning researcher with 8 years of experience, currently working on foundation models at Apple after leading LLM inference-efficiency research as a freelance AI researcher for NAVER Cloud. His work centers on meta-optimization techniques that let trained networks compress datasets and contexts, guide augmentation via saliency, and automatically surface problematic data—reducing reliance on manual curation. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Seoul National University and has applied deep models to causal discovery in human genes during a visiting scholar stint at NYU. Notably, he led the FastKVZip project on large-scale LLM inference efficiency and has prior industry experience in speech enhancement and applied ad analytics. Based in Seoul with international research exposure, he combines theoretical rigor with practical system-focused contributions that speed training and inference.
