KakaoBank Presents Consecutive Research Achievements at World's Leading AI Conferences

Accepted at EMNLP 2024 and NeurIPS 2024
"Contributing to the Vitalization of the Entire Fintech Ecosystem"

Kakao Bank Financial Technology Research Center announced on the 16th that it has consecutively presented its artificial intelligence (AI) research achievements at international academic conferences. Research papers related to Kakao Bank's large language model (LLM) were accepted at conferences such as EMNLP 2024 and NeurIPS 2024.

These academic conferences are considered the most prestigious worldwide in the fields of AI, natural language processing, and machine learning. Last month, Kakao Bank revealed its development of a Korean large language model that detects smishing and generates explanations for the results at the EMNLP Industry Track.

Kakao Bank devised an optimized training technique and fine-tuning (the process of further training an AI model for specific tasks) for developing the smishing detection model, and also defined a methodology to measure performance comprehensively based on seven evaluation metrics.

Through this, they developed a generative AI model that surpasses the accuracy of existing language models in the smishing detection domain while also explaining the basis for its decisions. Last month, they launched the ‘AI Smishing Text Verification’ service applying this AI model.

They also presented the ‘LLM-based Financial Table Data Generation Methodology’ used during the development of the ‘Today’s mini Diary’ service. They shared a case of effectively generating synthetic data and developing a model to create a service where generative AI writes diaries based on payment histories.

A Kakao Bank official stated, "We hope that the research achievements made by Kakao Bank Financial Technology Research Center will revitalize the fintech ecosystem and become a driving force for innovation," adding, "We will continue to lead the development of innovative technologies for a more convenient and secure financial life for our customers."
