About Me

I am an AI researcher with primary interests in developing scalable and data-efficient learning systems, particularly for applications in medical imaging. My work focuses on learning from evolving and limited (scarce or privacy-sensitive) data conditions that are common in real-world scenarios but remain challenging for deep learning models. Learn more about my research here.

Research keywords include: continual learning, few-shot learning, medical imaging, and so on.

Brief Biography

I am currently a research assistant at the Medical Informatics Collaboration Unit (MCU) of Yonsei University Health System (YUHS) in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Previously, I finished my M.S. in Digital Analytics at Yonsei University in August 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Yu Rang Park at the Digital Healthcare Lab (DHLab). I received my B.B.A. in Business Administration from the same university in 2023. From August 2024 to February 2025, I was a visiting scholar at the CMU School of Computer Science as part of the Carnegie Mellon University Intensive AI Education Program sponsored by the South Korean government.

Does Prior Data Matter? Exploring Joint Training in the Context of Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning
Does Prior Data Matter? Exploring Joint Training in the Context of Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning

Shiwon Kim*, Dongjun Hwang*, Sungwon Woo*, Rita Singh

International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2025 CLVision

Challenged the assumption of limited access to prior data in few-shot class-incremental learning, and compared joint training with incremental learning to empirically assess the practical impact of full data access on model performance.

Shiwon Kim

Master's Thesis, Yonsei University

Proposed a dynamic hierarchical equiangular tight frame (DH-ETF) classifier that mitigates base-class bias by preserving prior knowledge through a fixed cluster-level ETF, while enabling flexible accommodation of new classes using adaptable class-level ETFs within each cluster.
