Junior Researcher projects Fall 2017

This page will be updated with the blog posts from our Junior Researchers in the fall semester 2017. Their research touched upon a broad range of topics from blockchain technology and fake news to using text mining on the Financial Statements. Some of the projects were thesis dissertations, but many of the students are continuing their role Junior Researcher in the spring semester 2018.

Machine Learning for legal interpretations of annual reports regarding gender equality
Project: Benjamin is a 4th semester DIM student and he is currently writing his thesis together with Junior Researchers Niels, and Per. Their thesis explores whether financial statements from Danish companies report in accordance with the Financial Statements Act on the underrepresented gender (§99B). Using text mining/machine learning techniques (e.g. LDA, doc2vec, word2vec) to analyse content of the annual reports, focus is on the issues arising from the automated reading of such reports in relation to decision-making.

Project:
Susan also studies DIM and her project is a pilot for her Master's thesis. She explores the topic Telemedicine with the intention of developing a crawler to map out which hospitals and companies use telemedicine. Asking which technological and ethical issues and future predictions arise in the process?
