Frederik Hvilshøj

Frederik is the Machine Learning Lead at Encord. He has an extensive computer vision and deep learning background and has completed a Ph.D. in Explainable Deep Learning and Generative Models at Aarhus University, and published research in Efficient Counterfactuals from Invertible Neural Networks and Back-propagation through Fréchet Inception Distance. Before his P.hD., Frederik studied for an M.Sc. in computer science while being a teaching assistant for "Introduction to databases" and "Pervasive computing and Software Architecture."

He also recently led Encord's ML team to release the world's largest multimodal dataset, E-MM1.

Frederik enjoys spending time with his two kids in his spare time and occasionally goes for long hikes around his hometown in the west of Denmark.
