AI Researcher & LLM Evaluation – Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) at Private

Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) – AI Evaluation & LLM Research

Development of an experimental evaluation approach to examine “paradigmatic closure” in Large Language Models — that is, the question of how far LLMs can recognize the basic assumptions, values, and limits of the paradigms within which they generate answers.

Design and testing of an additional approach to classic AI benchmarks that does not primarily measure factual correctness or task performance, but instead examines a model’s ability to recognize alternative perspectives, make implicit assumptions visible, and reflect on the limits of its own answer or interpretation framework.

Focus areas: development of evaluation criteria and test questions · LLM evaluation and comparative model analysis · prompt and response analysis · qualitative classification of model answers · study of epistemic compression and value leakage · benchmark and literature research · development of structured assessment and analysis methods

As part of CPT, existing AI evaluation approaches and benchmarks were analyzed, and a minimalist test protocol was developed that classifies model answers by response patterns such as DIRECT, CLARIFY, PLURALIST, REFUSE, and META-AWARE. TruthfulQA was used as the basis for experimental application and comparison with existing reference answers.

Niko Karajannis

Last position:

Co-founder & AI Engineer at KAIKI GmbH

End-to-end responsibility for all products - concept, architecture, development, and production operation as the sole developer; in addition, customer meetings, proposals, and marketing.

Underwriting Copilot - AI assistant for industrial insurance (in production at customer sites)

  • Supports underwriters in analyzing industrial insurance submissions - in production use at an industrial insurer.
  • Framework-independent RAG architecture with Hybrid Search (BM25 + pgvector) across large, mixed document sets.
  • Two-stage evaluation and observability pipeline (code assertions + LLM-as-Judge) that makes answer quality, retrieval accuracy, and citation integrity measurable in a regression-safe way.

Kaiki Menu Analyzer - Data intelligence platform (in production at customer sites)

  • Automatically captures and analyzes menu data from around 25,000 German restaurants.
  • Scalable 7-container architecture (FastAPI, partitioned PostgreSQL, Redis/RQ) with LLM-supported extraction of structured data from PDF, HTML, and images.
  • Full CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), production cloud deployment, interactive dashboards (Dash).

Kaiki GEO Atlas - GEO platform (in production at customer sites)

  • Measures brand visibility across five AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude), each augmented with web search, orchestrated as a DAG workflow pipeline (Dispatcher → Sub-workflows → Scoring → Report) with fail isolation.
  • 6-container deployment (FastAPI, Celery, Redis, PostgreSQL); LLM cost estimation, PDF audit report, rule-based cross-signal insights (no extra LLM cost).

Data Pipeline & Analytics Platform - competitive analysis in the automotive aftermarket

  • Automated data pipeline with gap analysis algorithms and role-based access control; 230+ tests.
  • Backend with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy.

Product development (actively in progress)

BankingGPT - AI assistant for complaint management in cooperative banking

  • Security architecture at the core: no AI draft reaches the customer without human approval - the approval decision is in auditable code, not in the language model (monotonic: the model may escalate, never downgrade).
  • Real agentic building blocks, each with its own boundary: the model chooses tools itself through an MCP server (read-only, allowlist, capped, fail-safe); sensitive cases are handed off via an open A2A protocol (JSON-RPC, Agent Card, message/send/tasks/get; client implemented by me) to a separate specialist agent (securities/law), which never lowers the review requirement (pinned by test).
  • Evaluation-driven over ten analysis rounds; uncovered a security flaw through independent review and blind tests that nine automated runs had missed.
  • Voice AI frontend, responding live: covered cases are answered in the conversation, sensitive ones escalate before generation; response latency < 7 s measured (local GPU STT/TTS).

Stack & production readiness: Python, pydantic-ai, FastAPI/Celery, PostgreSQL/pgvector, FastMCP, fasta2a, Docker; multi-tenant capable (physical vector isolation per tenant), PII encrypted, OWASP-LLM reviewed, 275 tests, CI/CD; vendor-portable (Ollama / EU Cloud Vertex).

After-Sales Assistant - agentic RAG/GraphRAG assistant on public OEM manuals (automotive after-sales)

  • Genuinely agentic on LangGraph: ReAct agent with four tools and conversation memory - the model decides on its own whether to use the manual (RAG, Chroma), a knowledge graph (GraphRAG, Neo4j/Cypher - decodes warning lights), or a workshop/booking service.
  • Human-in-the-Loop before the irreversible action: before every appointment booking, the graph pauses (interrupt) and gets the driver's explicit confirmation - the same approval-before-action discipline as in BankingGPT, in a different framework.
  • Eval as CI gate: a three-part scorecard (RAGAS grounding + deterministic tool-routing accuracy + DeepEval safety: does the answer mention the warning first when there is a critical warning?) blocks the pipeline; provider-agnostic (OpenAI/Azure/Anthropic), FastAPI with token streaming.

Stack: Python, LangChain/LangGraph, Chroma, Neo4j, RAGAS/DeepEval, FastAPI, Docker.

About the technology

Speech synthesis basics

Text-to-Speech, often called TTS or speech synthesis, converts written content into spoken audio. It is used for voice assistants, accessibility, navigation, learning tools, and automated service calls. Strong specialists focus on natural pacing, pronunciation, and a voice that fits the product.

Common project types

  • App and website voice output
  • IVR prompts and call flows
  • Audiobooks, training, and onboarding content
  • Multilingual voice experiences
  • Accessibility features for screen readers and assistive tools

These projects often need careful text prep, voice selection, and consistent audio delivery across many screens or channels.

Ecosystem and tooling

Text-to-Speech work often uses cloud APIs such as Amazon Polly, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, and Azure AI Speech. Specialists also work with SSML, audio formats, pronunciation dictionaries, and caching for repeat playback. For larger products, they align TTS with backend services, content pipelines, and QA checks.

When companies bring help

Companies usually look for freelance expertise when voice quality is too robotic, pronunciation is inconsistent, or integration is slow to ship. They also bring in specialists for German-language output, multiple accents, or product launches that need reliable speech from day one. In Germany, this is common in customer service, mobility, media, education, and enterprise software.

What strong specialists deliver

A good Text-to-Speech professional does more than connect an API. They shape the script for spoken delivery, adjust pauses and emphasis, and test how the voice sounds with real product copy.

  • Clear SSML and pronunciation rules
  • Reliable latency and fallback handling
  • Voice selection that matches brand tone
  • Clean integration with existing systems

Why fit matters

The best specialists know where TTS breaks down: names, numbers, abbreviations, and mixed-language text. They can spot issues early and improve the result without rewriting the whole product. For Germany-focused work, they should handle German speech naturally and know when remote delivery is enough versus when close stakeholder review helps.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Text-to-Speech.

Text-to-Speech turns written content into spoken audio for apps, websites, contact centers, navigation systems, learning products, and accessibility features. It is also used for automated notifications, voice assistants, and content that needs to work hands-free or eyes-free. Strong specialists make the speech sound natural and easy to follow.

Text-to-Speech generates voice from text, while speech recognition converts spoken words into text. Companies often use both in the same product, but they solve opposite problems. A specialist who understands both can design better voice flows, especially for assistants and IVR systems.

TTS needs freelance help when the first version sounds stiff, fails on names and acronyms, or must fit a brand voice. It also helps when you need SSML, multilingual output, audio caching, or tight integration with existing systems. A good specialist can improve quality without making the architecture heavy.

A strong Text-to-Speech specialist usually knows SSML, API integration, audio formats, and content editing for spoken delivery. For product work, experience with backend services, QA, and accessibility is useful too. If German output matters, pronunciation handling is especially important.

Text-to-Speech is often one part of IVR or voice assistant projects, but it can also stand alone for audio playback and accessibility. IVR work needs call flow design, error handling, and telephony awareness, while assistants usually need intent logic and conversational design. The right specialist knows where speech output ends and the wider voice system begins.

Text-to-Speech can usually be delivered remotely, especially when the work is API integration, SSML tuning, or voice QA. On-site sessions can help when product teams need to review brand tone, legal wording, or German pronunciation together. Many companies in Germany use a mixed setup with remote build work and local stakeholder reviews.

Look for a Text-to-Speech specialist who has shipped real voice features, not just demo scripts. Good signs are clean handling of pronunciation, consistent audio output, clear testing habits, and a practical grasp of the target product. Ask for examples that show how they improved speech quality, not only how they connected an API.

Yes, Text-to-Speech and TTS mean the same thing. Vendor tools such as Amazon Polly, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, and Azure AI Speech are common ways to deliver it in production. A capable freelancer should know when one service fits better than another and how to tune the voice output for the use case.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects is 100 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 800 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects, 95% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 73% hold at least a Master's degree, and 14% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects have 20 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.4 years.

The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects are German (100%), English (100%), and French (28%).

The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects are Information Technology (88%), Education (52%), and Automotive (36%).

The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used Text-to-Speech in their recent projects are Information Technology (96%), Product Development (92%), and Project Management (68%).
