(Special Lecture: Deep Learning for a Big Tech Career)

After graduating from KAIST,

I joined a big tech company that I'm sure you all know,

where I was a software engineer for about two years.

But I found a field in deep learning I was passionate about researching.

So the next semester, I joined a research lab at CMU.

It might sound impressive, but it's really nothing special.

- Any of you can do the same. - I got to use the restroom.

It all started with games and apps I made back in high school.

The little things, you know?

- That's when I got hooked on... - I wonder what their story is.

Is what ultimately led me to deep learning.

Did you see Yeon San's look at him?

And the way he looks at her...

tells me there's totally a story there.

So today, I'd like to talk about the research I'm passionate about...

I heard they just went to high school together.

That's just something people say.

It's sort of like when celebs say they're just close friends...

or just know each other from school.

- Hello everyone. - Right.

- Exactly. - Welcome to deep learning.

Right. You were away, so you might not know.

Get this, San asked me to set her up with someone.

What is deep learning?

Really?

Don't you think this is, like, a sign?

The day a man enters her life is finally here.

It's advantageous to learn.

We learn from experience.

- But... - Yes?

So, what you're saying...

is someone like Park Chang Yi...

A real catch who's well-spoken, smart, sharp, and good-looking.

Voice assistance like Siri...

- All right. - ChatGPT.

Is a guy like that really San's type?

- He's my type. - What?

But I bet San would like him too.

I doubt it.

- You don't really know San. - Exactly.

Hey, Na Rae, you...

said the same thing when we first did our group project.

Right. I did, but...

Didn't you say you had plans? So why are you at a CompSci lecture?

I just thought it might be helpful for me too.

Knowledge is power, right?

I feel powerful.

(LOVE.exe, Episode 14: The Career Seminar)

Hey, Ban Ji No keeps calling to join us.

Seriously?

Anyway, it's such an honor to have you here.

But didn't you say you had something to do?

Shouldn't you get going?

- You said you pushed it back once. - Oh...

I pushed it to tomorrow.

Besides, this is kind of a team dinner,

so it wouldn't be right if I skipped out.

This isn't a team dinner.

- What? - I just came for the chicken.

I was just thirsty.

Whatever, I'm thirsty too.

Of course, I'm also here to find out what the deal is with you two,

exchanging such soulful looks.

And maybe get a little dopamine rush from the drama?

What are you talking about? It's not like that.

So, Min Hak, is your major in this field?

No, I'm in the Department of Modeling.

- I see. - Yes.

He's actually super famous.

Please...

Because of a ridiculous department merger,

we all ended up on one team for the competition.

You mean the Hangang University President's Cup App Contest?

Yes.

So you're in it too.

Right. I was going to mention this while we were all together,

but I can't be there for the competition's final pitch.

What are you talking about?

The committee-school fight blew up.

You all saw the posts on Everytime.

"Why is the girl objecting to the merger in a school contest?"

But still,

you can't just drop out like this.

No way. We're not letting you.

I'm not dropping out.

I'll just keep my name on the roster for the rule.

I just need to avoid being in the spotlight.

I don't know your individual situations,

but if winning the prize money is your main objective,

there are other ways to do business without entering the competition.

The prize money might seem like a lot to you,

but it's nothing to a large company.

If the idea has mass appeal, it'll be an easy sell.

In that case, would you take a look at our app, Split Alarm?

We're in the final stages of development.

Did you guys talk about this already?

I'd be honored. But I'm supposed to be a judge.

Nothing's set, but if you're serious about business, not competing,

then of course, I'll help.

I can even introduce you to people in my network.

- Really? - Of course. Anything for San.

Excuse me!

Can we get five more beers?

I don't remember asking you for a favor...

We'd be incredibly grateful.

I can't believe we're treating you to just chicken and beer on campus.

What are you talking about? This is on me.

Just getting to see San again is more than enough for me.

Gosh, excuse me!

Can we get some more chicken, too?

I'm just really hungry.

And of course,

I'm paying for it.

Goodness.

Next time, just press the call button.

Okay.

(Youth Pub)

Really? You two must be so happy to see each other.

Wait a minute. So you two went to school together?

San and I didn't actually go to school at the same time.

I graduated early, after my sophomore year.

KAIST. That figures.

When I returned for homecoming, San was just a freshman.

So how did you two get close?

- At camp. - At camp. Gosh.

It was just a regular science camp run by the school.

That, and there was...

also a mentoring program with alumni...

called the Career Exploration Program.

And San was brilliant in it.

Remember how your team used...

Kinematic AI for the Deep Learning project?

That was such a grind.

We had to take a 500-megabyte raw data CSV file...

and manually sift through it all to create the training data.

You were really incredible.

Wait, so are you two...

Are you sure you're okay with not entering the competition?

Well, for me,

I'll be happy as long as all your hard work pays off somehow.

Right.

- Split Alarm. - What are you working on now?

Should we really consider talking to him about it?

He seems like a good guy.

Then I guess it all worked out.

But it's because you were so sharp that you finished in time.

If it hadn't been for you, your team probably would've...

spent the entire camp just clicking at their computers.

The one where instead of image training,

we tracked the movement of the boxes...

and trained that as time-series data, right?

If I'd known what a beast working with raw data was,

I would've picked a different topic.

What are they even talking about?

How would I know? It's Science High School talk.

- Their past? - No, Science High.

They are Science High prodigies.

This is the first time I've heard San talk about that time.

She's practically glowing.

This is so inspiring.

I have a web novel idea I shelved because I was totally stuck.

It’s about a senior and a junior who happen to meet again...

by chance after graduation.

- You write web novels? - Yes.

These guys are total techies,

but I only got into CompSci because I heard getting a job was easy.

But that's ancient history now,

and besides, it wasn't a good fit for me.

So I figured I might as well use my CompSci background...

and try my hand at writing.

Do you happen to know a company called Yes Lab?

Yes, they're a huge company, famous for their webtoons.

I don't know much about web novels,

but I know the CEO of Yes Lab.

They're working on a new platform,

and they need writers for the app.

They're looking for new talent.

- Really? - Yes.

Send me your story, and I'll see if I can get it to the CEO.

To the CEO?

For real?

This is wild. I'm so glad I made that connection.

- How did this fall in your lap? - What do I do? Wait, which one...

- This one. - This one?

- I think this one's best. - What about this one?

No. This one.

Thanks for dinner.

Thank you for dinner.

I'll be in touch, everyone.

I have some friends drinking nearby, so I'll take off first.

- Okay. - Goodbye.

- Bye. - See you later.

See you later.

- Then... - San, where are you going?

I can give you a ride. I have to call a driver anyway.

It's right nearby, so I can just walk.

- Oh, well... - Min Hak, which way are you headed?

I'm...

going that way...

My manager said he was picking me up at the school.

Then walk with me.

It's faster this way.

- But... - Yes?

I think I drank a little too much.

So I want to walk around a bit. You know, walk it off.

Then I know the perfect place for a walk.

This way. There's a park that won a top landscape architecture prize.

It's huge. It takes an hour to walk it all.

Really?

- Let's go! - No, hold on.

Goodbye! And thank you so much again.

See you at school.

Yes, okay.

- Let's go. - Get home safe.

- Na Rae. - Yes, let's go.

How'd you know about that award?

What? How could you not?

Now, where did I park?

No, it's fine. I can just walk. It's really close.

Oh, then, let's walk for a bit.

It's been a while. We can catch up.

Min Hak, you're a really nice guy, but you can't read a room, can you?

What?

I tried to leave Yeon San and Chang Yi alone together,

and I kept sending you signals to make yourself scarce.

Na Rae, I don't think you're one to talk.

What's that supposed to mean?

Never mind.

So, which way was that park again?

- That way. - That way.

Let's get going.

So how'd you end up at this university?

Pardon?

A full four-year scholarship?

Yes.

Actually, this school's foundation is on my mom's side.

That's why I gave the lecture, too.

My point is...

I know what Hangang University is all about.

I'm not trying to put it down or anything.

It's not the kind of school you belong in.

It's not like it's very competitive or has a great reputation,

and the location is kind of awkward.

I heard you quit Science High your sophomore year without a word.

So I just figured you had some other plan.

I'm sure you had your reasons, though.

This is me.

What?

It's nearby. I have to make a quick stop.

- It's late. I'll walk you home... - I have to go.

San.

I've looked you up from time to time.

I was curious how you were doing and what you were up to.

We had some really good times, you know?

Did we?

Did I do something to upset you?

No, nothing like that.

I should get going.

By making a compound from the remaining element symbols?

Let's kill it! Are we ready?

Five, four, three, two, one!

Team Acetylene and Team Ozone, you both are the winners!

- Can I get your phone? - Sorry?

This is my phone number.

Text me when the camp's over. Let's grab a bite to eat.

Hey.

Na Rae roped me into an hour-long walk,

and thankfully, it suddenly started to rain.

Come in.

(Python Hacking Programming)

I don't think I have anything you can change into,

- At least dry your hair. - Thanks.

Remember when I didn't know what Python was...

and called it "Red Sun?"

And to be honest, I still don't really get it.

What was Python again?

Was it you who explained it to me?

I'm not sure.

I feel like I should know for when we talk.

I doubt we'll ever need to chit-chat about it.

Still...

Tell me the simple version.

Well,

it's more concise and dynamic than other languages,

and it's a programming language that's easy to read.

Is it easy to learn?

Concise doesn't necessarily mean easy.

It's compatible with a lot of different operating systems.

Even if they're different?

Like us?

- That's not the right analogy. - An extensive library...

Which is why it's highly scalable...

And intuitive...

What?

What, hold on.

Aren't you pushing yourself too hard with everything lately?

You feel a little warm.

I'm a little tired, but my temperature's normal.

- Then why's your face so red? - It's just my mood.

"My mood?"

Maybe I'm wrong. Hold on.

So?

Who is it?

Can I help you?

There's a water leak in the apartment below us.

May I take a look at the bathroom?

Do you really need to check right now?

Your downstairs neighbor keeps calling me nonstop,

and frankly, I'm at my wits' end.

Please, just let us check. It won't take long anyway.

You're older than me, right?

Just a second.

Hey, do I know you from somewhere?

You look so familiar.

I don't think so.

Her name's hilarious, isn't it? Ahn In Dae.

- He's mine! - Kang Min Hak is mine!

Hangang University, right?

You're the girl whose laptop Min Hak broke?

No way!

You live here?

Hold on.

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

There's a water leak downstairs, and you can't be here right now.

- There's someone at the door. - At this hour?

Yes.

But if it's just the repairman...

shouldn't a strong guy like me stick around to protect you?

Go and have a look!

Gosh.

Ahn In Dae?

Just a minute!

- Hey, get under the sofa. - Under the sofa...

- Hey, there's stuff under here. - Right. Then, here.

San.

What if I just put on a hat and a mask?

- No, that won't work. - Why not? I just need to cover up.

No, with her, things are very likely to go wrong.

The fridge? No, it's too cold.

- The balcony! - The balcony.

Come on in.

I'll just check the bathroom.

If you go to Hangang University,

- what's your major? - I'm CompSci.

- Then you must see Min Hak often! - What?

Isn't he a model?

Right, exactly!

The Modeling and CompSci departments...

were merged into the Converged Physical...

Technology and Global Contents.

My gosh, she's a real fan.

Do you see him often?

No, not that often.

That makes sense. He's always so busy.

Do you have any classes with Min Hak?

Yes, sometimes.

But since that friend is in the Department of Modeling...

"Friend?" You're friends with him?

No! We're not close.

Too bad. I was just asking because on Min Hak's Instagram,

I saw he does group projects with people from school.

Really?

Maybe I should go to Hangang University since it's close.

I'm so jealous of those people.

But then again,

I worry there are too many girls around Min Hak.

It's bad for his image.

Wait, are you the building manager or something?

Please.

I'm the landlord's daughter.

- Did you tinker with the toilet? - Yes.

My dad tinkered with it a little.

I see. I think that's the problem. Let me check the balcony, too.

The balcony?

The balcony...

I'm not really sure if now is a good time to check the balcony.

- I'll help clear it if it's a mess. - No.

Just stay here for a second.

Sir, in the corner of the bathroom,

there's something you should see.

The daughter will take a look, too.

He's not my dad, though.

Doesn't that look really weird?

What part?

I think she means over there.

Go and hide!

- Get out quickly. - Where?

Right over there.

Let me see.

Okay, so the valve is supposed to be on this side.

I don't see anything particularly wrong.

I wonder what she thinks is strange.

There's been a leak in the corner ever since I moved in.

And I think we need to be clear about who's responsible.

This isn't a leak. It's just standing water.

I see. I guess I was mistaken.

Right? So there's no real issue, sir?

Should we check the balcony?

This way.

Yeon San.

Let's make sure we end up at the same school.

- Their past? - No, Science High.

They are Science High prodigies.

This is the first time I've heard San talk about that time.

(2021 Korea Science High School Invention Mentoring Science Camp)

I'll be back with some breakfast.

No way.

I heard there's this place with a really good vibe.

I'll work around your schedule.

What?

Hey, Na Rae.

I'm free tomorrow.

No, that was my friend.

- Go on. - I said I was free.

Hey, I'll call you back in a bit.

You're free?

- Tomorrow? - Yes.

Then go to that yakitori place with me.

Why all of a sudden?

You wrote this, didn't you?

Yes.

Wait, you didn't actually think I just up and left you, did you?

Na Rae is sleeping so soundly.

(I'll be back with some breakfast.)

Whatever. I'll chalk it up to bad luck and just forget it.

It's not like he's so great.

I want to cry too.

I can't believe my first time ended like this.

That jerk is the absolute worst.

The absolute worst.

How could you find a yakitori place and invite someone else?

You didn't even get a meal with me after we slept together.

I thought you didn't want to get a meal with me.

I was racking my brain, wondering what I did wrong.

- At 7pm. - What?

So, let's go to the yakitori tomorrow at 7pm.

Okay.

I'll come get you, despite you being right across from me.

They're at it again.

Way to go! Bye, pal!

I saw on Instagram that Min Hak's older brother...

liked omakase.

So, what about Min Hak? What does he like?

Excuse me, I need to get this.

Hey, Dad.

For that, if you open the back of the kiosk...

Yes, just press that button again.

I did that already.

Oh, there's another button here.

All right, let me see.

Okay, got it. I'll call if I get stuck again.

Hey, it's okay.

- What? - Sorry. I'm so tactless.

The people here aren't conservative, you know.

I'm not sure what you mean.

You've got two phones, men's shoes by the door,

and men's clothes lying around...

Those are my clothes.

Come on. I'm almost 20. I know what's up.

No, really, it's just me here.

Excuse me. Could you go downstairs and check how it is?

Min Hak, come on out.

Okay, come on out.

- Are they gone? - Yes.

Are you okay?

Thanks for your hard work.

Bye.

Darn it.

- My phone... - Right.

I'll call you.

- What? - Right.

What is it?

- What? - Just let me borrow this. Okay?

All right.

Goodness. Are you okay?

- I'll call you! - Okay!

- Oh my. Hello. - Oh gosh...

Are you all right?

Come out and see this! Your boyfriend fell on the steps!

Did you really fall?

Oh, gosh...

I'm fine. That was a close one.

I know. We have to be more careful.

Tell me about it.

Since I'll be coming over often, right?

That's not what I meant.

By the way, I saw something while I was in the closet.

What?

The magazine you were the cover model for.

I studied with this one too, you know.

- Let me have this. - I should've burned them.

Why? That'd be a waste. Let me have it.

Why would I give this to you? I can't exactly burn you instead.

All right! Goodness.

- Cute, right? - Why you...

Give it to me.

What's with you?

(Hangang University)

Hey, I actually landed a meeting with the rep from Yes Lab.

- Through Chang Yi? - Yes. Amazing, right?

- Did you look them up online? - What?

To see if the company is legit and if he actually works there.

What's that supposed to mean? You doubt my writing is good enough?

No, that's not it.

You were almost scammed by that AI.

That's why she's worried, right?

- Still, it's better to be sure. - Chang Yi introduced me.

What's there to worry about?

What do they even know about Park Chang Yi?

Hey, did Chang Yi ever get in touch with you about Split Alarm?

What? About what?

We talked about turning Split Alarm into a business.

Yes. I thought it was a good idea, too.

And we're not guaranteed to win first place in the competition.

I did hear from him.

But before we prepare for the competition,

if a rumor gets out that we sold our project with an insider's help,

it would be bad for either of us, so he said to talk later.

Let's just handle it ourselves.

Really?

That's a shame.

Hey, forget it. All we have to do is win.

What are you up to after class today?

(Min Hak: What are you up to after class today?)

I need data for Split Alarm,

- so I'm meeting a senior I know... - Joo Yeon San.
