임석제Published as SakJae LimResearcher and practitioner. I study evidence-grounded AI and put it to work in public-sector IT consulting.
I build ontology and knowledge-graph–based AI systems, test whether LLM explanations stay faithful to the evidence they were given, and work on the quality of public and linked open data. Every entry below links to its source.

DOI KCIEvaluating Grounded Alignment of LLM Explanations in Financial Risk Early Warning: A Prediction–Explanation Separation FrameworkJKSQM · Journal · First authorSakJae Lim, and Nak Hyun Jung. Journal of Korean Society for Quality Management, 54(3), 457–476.
This study proposes a large language model (LLM) framework that separates prediction from explanation for early warning of high-volatility regimes in the Korean stock market: a dedicated model issues the forecast and an LLM produces auditable, evidence-grounded explanations. The predictor's probability, SHAP attributions, a market-state summary, and a risk-factor taxonomy form a Structured Evidence Packet that is the LLM's only input. Explanation quality is assessed with a Grounded Evidence Alignment Score (GEAS), repetition stability, input ablation, and deletion/injection interventions. GEAS rose from 0.183 without SHAP evidence to 1.000/0.998 with it, and the dedicated model reached PR-AUC 0.799 against 0.615 for direct LLM prediction. The findings support using LLMs as grounded, auditable explanation layers rather than autonomous forecasters.
