In the realm of machine learning, two of the most potent and widely-used algorithms are AdaBoost and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM). Both of these techniques are used for boosting, a method that sequentially applies weak learners to improve model accuracy. Let's delve deeper into each of these algorithms, their workings, and differences. Blog post: https://www.victorleungtw.com/2023/12/18/adaboost/

In the world of machine learning, there are numerous techniques and algorithms that empower predictive modeling and data analysis. Two such powerful methods are Bootstrap Aggregation, commonly known as Bagging, and Random Forest. These techniques are widely used for their robustness and ability to improve the accuracy and stability of machine learning models. Blog post: https://www.victorleungtw.com/2023/12/17/bootstrap/

Clustering is a fundamental technique in data science and machine learning, used for grouping similar data points together. Among the various metrics to evaluate the quality of clustering, Inertia and Silhouette Coefficient stand out for their insightful feedback on cluster quality. Let's dive into what these metrics are and how they help in analyzing clusters.

In this podcast, I am comparing the Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies of two organizations in the banking industry: the Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) as an incumbent and Trust Bank as a disruptor. Over the last few years, advancements in technology and shifts in consumer behavior have led to significant changes. Established players like DBS face challenges from local digital banks that hold full banking licenses in Singapore, including Trust Bank, which was jointly launched by the FairPrice Group and Standard Chartered Bank.

I was on business trip in New Zealand for two weeks. Nestled between two harbors, Auckland is a vibrant, multicultural city waiting to be explored. Known as the "City of Sails" for its love of yachting, Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and an exciting blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty. Here's some tips to making the most of your Auckland adventure. Blog post: https://www.victorleungtw.com/2023/12/08/auckland/

In the rapidly evolving world of cloud computing, the need for scalable, repeatable, and manageable infrastructure deployment is more acute than ever. As organizations migrate from traditional data centers to cloud environments, they confront the complexity of deploying and managing infrastructure at scale. Enter HashiCorp Terraform, the open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that is transforming how we think about provisioning and maintaining our IT landscapes.

Productivity isn't a one-size-fits-all formula. It's a personal equation that varies with each individual, shaped by different lifestyles, priorities, and goals. But at its core, being productive is really just about understanding the productivity equation and then figuring out which bits we need to optimize to apply to our own lives.
