LG Unveils Exaone Innovation Cases at the World’s Leading Machine Learning Conference

New Material Platform "Exaone Discovery"
Live Demonstrations of Hair Loss Management and Immersion Cooling Oil Materials
Achievements: 363 Papers Presented, 838 Patents Filed

LG announced on July 8 that it participated in the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2026, the world’s most prestigious academic event in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), held at COEX in Seoul. At the conference, LG presented its accumulated research achievements and various real-world industrial applications of its proprietary AI, Exaone.

This is the first time ICML has been held in Korea. As one of the world’s top three AI academic events, it attracts close attention from the global academic and industrial communities.

LG AI Research is participating in ICML 2026, currently underway at COEX in Seoul, showcasing research achievements and the industrial innovation cases of ExaOne. LG

At this event, LG AI Research (hereinafter referred to as "the Research Institute") demonstrated a real-time showcase of "Exaone Discovery," its new materials development platform. In addition, it unveiled the actual products of "Lamsidil," a new hair loss management material discovered and commercialized using AI, as well as a next-generation immersion cooling oil material for AI data centers.

Earlier this year, the Research Institute secured a patent for the entire process in which AI reads molecular structures in documents and designs new materials. Lamsidil was discovered by AI in just a single day out of more than 420,000 candidate substances, in collaboration with LG Household & Health Care. The immersion cooling oil material for data center thermal management is also being co-developed with GS Caltex.

The Research Institute also showcased achievements in finance and data. It demonstrated "Exaone BI," a specialized AI agent that analyzes approximately 8,000 individual stocks listed on the Korean and U.S. stock markets and provides expert-level financial commentary. Earlier this year, the institute officially launched a U.S. stock market prediction service with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), and more recently, signed a contract with Koscom to accelerate its domestic stock market prediction business. Furthermore, by advancing its AI data factory platform "Exaone Data Foundry," which boosts data productivity by more than 1,000 times, the institute implemented a system capable of automatically building over 10,000 pieces of specialized data per day in a pilot project with the National Pension Service.

A representative from the Research Institute stated, "Exaone is already at the stage of delivering tangible results in real industrial sectors," and added, "LG AI Research will continue to identify areas where AI can solve industrial challenges."

At ICML 2026, the Research Institute presented a total of 14 papers, demonstrating its global top-tier research capabilities. Notably, its newly introduced AI technology for material generation ranked second in the world in the comprehensive rankings of the global performance index (LeMat-GenBench).

Sehee Han, Head of the Materials Intelligence (MI) Lab at LG AI Research, emphasized, "LG’s AI has proven its world-class ability to develop highly effective materials that can solve real problems faced in industrial settings." Since its establishment, the institute has presented a total of 363 papers at leading global conferences and filed 838 domestic and international patents.

Woohyung Lim, Co-Director of LG AI Research, asserted, "Exaone is no longer an AI confined to the laboratory, but an expert AI that finds answers in the field," and added, "With a first-mover strategy for solving industrial challenges, we will lead the global AI landscape."
