The DAIS Research Group is an AI and data science research group within the Energy AI & Computational Science Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER). We use complex, real-world data from energy and scientific research as both a starting point and a testbed for studying generalizable AI methodologies, including machine learning, scientific document understanding, knowledge-based reasoning, and AI agents. Rather than building one-off solutions for individual projects, we develop models, evaluation methods, and data-processing pipelines that can transfer across scientific and industrial domains, connecting methodological advances with academic contributions and practical research tools.
Data โ Analysis โ Intelligence โ System
- D โ Data. Collecting and organizing the diverse research data that arises in the field โ unstructured documents (PDFs, reports, papers), experimental and process measurements, and more.
- A โ Analysis. Structure analysis and information extraction from documents; preprocessing of experimental and process data into shapes downstream models can use.
- I โ Intelligence. Classification, summarization, search, and recommendation over large document and data collections; prediction and fitting models for experimental and process data; robust learning methods combined with domain knowledge.
- S โ System. Turning models and analyses into things other people can actually use; automating repetitive work and keeping analysis code reproducible.
We collaborate with other groups within KIER and with external partners, organizing our work as reusable code and workflows rather than one-off solutions tied to a single project.
