David Welzien

MSc Machine Learning at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Currently a research intern at SciLifeLab, working on methods for Parkinson's disease detection, evaluating latent embeddings.

Autumn 2026 at Shanghai Jiao Tong University: distributed ML systems and optimization. Previously a visiting student at Tsinghua (deep reinforcement learning, NLP).

What I'm interested in: training large models efficiently.

Selected work

  • kd-comparison — Bachelor thesis. Four knowledge distillation methods compared on ShuffleNetV2 over five seeds each. Concluded DKD performed the best. Thesis PDF
  • RNN-project — RNN, LSTM and GRU compared on character-level generation, with perplexity, BLEU and BERTScore. Four-person course project.

Tools

Python, PyTorch, C, Java, Haskell, Go. Two years as a teaching assistant at KTH for programming techniques and programming paradigms.
