Who Am I

My name is Jaehyuk Heo (a.k.a TooTouch). One day, my friend told me that I look like a mole reads “tootouch” in Korean pronunciation, and since then, my nickname is TooTouch. Actually, I’m not sure I look like a mole. :)


Research Interests

My research interests are interpretable artificial intelligence and computer vision. The goal is to make machine learning easy for anyone to understand and use. Through a machine learning model that people can understand, i want to create a service that can provide good results at a low cost for many protected people who are unable to access quality services.
