Youngmin Ko

At KRAFTON I combine domain rules and AI for business workflows, connecting approved inputs to execution outcomes. In research I check whether evaluation numbers beat chance.

How Much Do Time-Series Anomaly Detection Metrics Actually Disagree? Null Models and Cluster-Aware Inference for Rank-Flip Statistics

The widely quoted flip rate of 0.3145 is read against zero; the right reference is the permutation null at 0.5002. Two metrics sharing no information already disagree on half the pairs. This is where the paper starts.

Open source · Python

The evaluation toolkit behind the paper's experiments. Null models separate real rank flips from chance, and a cluster-aware bootstrap puts confidence intervals on the rank-flip statistics.

Developed and operated meeting workflows connecting recording, transcription, source verification, reviewed minutes and follow-up actions. Built internal customer-support workflows connecting privacy masking, official knowledge, response review and agent handoff.

Hanwha Aerospace · Internship

Operators judged link trouble between unmanned ground vehicles and their control station by feel. Alone in eight weeks, built a detector that turns that call into latency, jitter and packet-loss signals. With no labeled faults, rules decide from day one and an Isolation Forest joins as data accumulates; every alert shows which signal moved and by how much, so an operator can check it.

FDE Gym: process lifecycle contribution
Upstream open-source contribution · open PR

Open PR for review, not merged: opt-in cleanup for delivered Python processes in the existing FDE Gym runner. Requires macOS 15.4+ with original-parent generation support verified at runtime; unsupported hosts are rejected before delivered code runs. In the bounded detached-child comparison, all 184 per-case results stayed unchanged while observed requests reaching later incidents fell from 60 to 0. This is lifecycle cleanup, not a complete containment boundary; no adoption or score gain is claimed.

Second Look: revisit old work with frozen checks
Personal open-source project · public pilot

Preserves original intent and compares patching, reframing, and rebuilding against the same browser checks. Feature expansion is on hold while the public pilot tests actual use; external adoption is unverified.

jevcompat: conformance tests for Jev-compatible servers
Open source · PyPI

About a hundred servers claimed to be Jev-compatible with nothing to check the claim against. I turned scattered official docs into a 48-requirement spec with tests and ran it on the eight most-starred servers: two passed. Maintainers of four shipped fixes within three days of the reports.
