About Dirk

AI in regulated markets: Deterministic instead of hallucinating.

Most companies fail at AI integration due to a simple architectural flaw: they try to unlearn generative language models to lie (hallucinate). My approach for zero-error-tolerance industries is different: I don't let the model speak in the first place.

I am a system architect for deterministic machine learning infrastructures. I help teams use large language models not as risky text generators, but as highly precise semantic encoders. Through classic transfer learning and the training of dedicated output layers on the latent space, I transform unpredictable AI projects into auditable, provable systems (classification & information extraction).
