Donghyun Lee AI Group

Trustworthy AI for High-Stakes Forecasting and Simulation
Social Science & AI at HUFS · Seoul, South Korea

Welcome to the Donghyun Lee AI Group. Established in 2017, we are based at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS) in Seoul.

We help people and institutions trust AI forecasts and simulated respondents exactly as much as they deserve.

AI now forecasts algal blooms and disease outbreaks, and language models answer surveys in place of people. Some answers are right, some are wrong, and users often cannot tell which.

  1. Reliability

    Check forecasts against real outcomes

    We test models on new places and years, and find when to hold back.

  2. Trust

    How people and agencies respond

    An algal bloom warning helps only if the water plant acts on it.

  3. Calibration

    Trust should match performance

    Our dashboard hpai.kr shows how sure each avian influenza forecast is.


We welcome motivated Master’s and Ph.D. students and interdisciplinary collaborations. Read our alumnus interview with Sangwon Chae of NH Bank.
