Rami Luisto, PhD

About me

I am a tall mathematician currently wearing many hats, splitting my work week between the private sector and the academia. At Digital Workforce Services I work as an AI Researcher with a focus on building LLM-powered AI-agents for customer needs. I am also part of two university research groups that focus on studying the usage of LLMs and other AI-models in the domain of the (Finnish) healthcare sector. See my LinkedIn profile for more details.

I received my PhD from the University of Helsinki in 2016. Since then I spread my winds as a postdoctoral researcherat UCLA, JYU and the Charles University in Prague until switching to the private sector in 2020. I also hold a title of a docent from the University of Helsinki. For a more detailed history of me and my work, please see my one-page CV (pdf) or my quite outdated mathematical CV (pdf).

When I transitioned from the academical environment to the private sector the process was not trivial. So I wrote a trilogy about it. Here are the first, the second and the third (final?) part.

My research interests are in NLP, especially transformer based language models, and their use in the healthcare sector. I also hold more than a passing interest towards information theory and the subfield of linguistics called semiotics.
