About me
PhD student at Speech Music and Hearing. Supervised by the amazing Jonas Beskow
My work focuses on understanding how we can use speech and language to diagnose disorders.
I'm open to supervising candidate and master students who are interested in working with machine learning in speech and language.
Collaborations
We are currently working exploring how Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (the architecture behind GPT-chat) can be used for training LLM models in psychology.
UnderstandingSpeech (FörståTal)
We have built an application with cognitive test that will be used by speech pathologists to digitize the speech pathology interview. The app is available on the app store.
Whisper Swedish
Working on building a Swedish language version of Whisper.

Example generated text
Meningen med livet är att man ska försöka få ihop så mycket tid som möjligt med familjen och vänner för att det ger rätt energi till nästa mål och det som finns kvar är att ta tag i framtiden… En mycket annorlunda, rolig livsfilosofi som även kallas positiv psykologi. Den har de flesta nog förstått innan man börjat gå i terapi eller går i grupp och den hjälper mig
Generative art
I make generative art and sometimes talk about it
