Lasse Hansen

PhD Student in Machine Learning for Healthcare

Aarhus University

I am a PhD student at the Department of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University studying how to use machine learning to improve patient outcomes in psychiatry.

I mainly work on the PSYCOP project where we create prediction models from data from electronic health records (EHR) to improve patients outcomes. My focus is on representation learning from multi-modal data and figuring out how best to model the complex sequential nature of the EHR.

I’m a large advocate for open-source software and have released the state-of-the-art pretrained speech model for Danish, a Python package for extracting metrics from text, and am a part of the Danish foundation models project.
