Ramin Assadollahi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ramin Assadollahi (born October 12, 1973 in Tehran ) is a German computational linguist , clinical psychologist , entrepreneur and inventor . His patents in the field of machine language processing are particularly important. He is u. a. one of the inventors of the "next-word-prediction" (next word suggestion), a further development of the auto-completion of words in computer input, which has found widespread use in all common mobile devices worldwide today.

academic education

Assadollahi studied machine language processing at the IMS of the University of Stuttgart . In 1997, together with other students, he established the possibility of studying the minor subject “Cognitive Neuroscience” at the University of Tübingen, where he also met his later doctoral supervisor Friedemann Pulvermüller. During his studies at the Department of Phonetics at University College London , he worked on alternative speech recognition methods. Classifying magnetencephalographic brain responses with neural networks described the transition to brain research. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Konstanz and from the Medical Research Council of the University of Cambridge , with a focus on the visual processing of language. As a postdoctoral fellow , he conducted research in the Collaborative Research Center 471 “Variation and Development in the Lexicon”, led by Aditi Lahiri in project D4, on the representation of the lexicon in the cerebral cortex.

Services

In 2000 Assadollahi founded ExB Labs GmbH as an innovation laboratory for language processing software products. His early research and inventions resulted in the world's first next-word prediction software (for 72 languages), which he sold with the associated patents to the then market leader Nokia in 2010 . He then worked on the development of new user interfaces and the associated semantic modeling on mobile devices. Since 2014, Assadollahi has been concentrating on textual and visual big data analysis using artificial intelligence in medical drug research and for health service providers, in the automotive industry, as well as in the finance and insurance industry.

Publications

Assadollahi is the author of numerous research papers in the fields of semantics , linguistics , natural language processing (NLP) and neuroscience .
