This is my note for ISYE 8803. This course focuses on analysis of high-dimensional structured data including profiles, images, and other types of functional data using statistical machine learning. A variety of topics such as functional data analysis, image processing, multilinear algebra and tensor analysis, and regularization in high-dimensional regression and its applications including low rank and sparse learning is covered. Optimization methods commonly used in statistical modeling and machine learning and their computational aspects are also discussed.

Machine learning plays a vital role in trading by enabling the analysis of vast amounts of financial data and the development of predictive models. It leverages algorithms and statistical techniques to identify patterns, make predictions, and generate insights for informed trading decisions. Machine learning algorithms can be applied to various aspects of trading, including price prediction, risk management, portfolio optimization, market analysis, and automated trading. By leveraging machine learning, traders can uncover hidden patterns in data, adapt to changing market conditions, and improve decision-making processes, ultimately aiming to achieve better trading performance and profitability.

This is my notes on Georgia Tech's ISYE 6669: Deterministic Optimization. Optimization is the process of adjusting a system to achieve the best possible performance or outcome. Deterministic (non-stochastic) optimization is a mathematical approach to finding the best solution to a problem by systematically searching the solution space for the optimal outcome. The optimization process is based on a set of deterministic (i.e., non-random) rules and algorithms, and the result of the optimization process is unique and repeatable.

This is my note for CS6750. The learning goals are to understand the common principles in HCI, design life cycle, and importance of iteration, current applications of HCI, and where it is heading. And the expected learning outcomes are to design effective interactions between humans and computers, design: applying known principles to a new problem and interactive processing of needfinding, prototyping and evaluation, effectiveness: usability, research, change, design interactions, not interfaces (shift on emphasis).

Goodreads is a social networking site for book lovers that allows users to create profiles, rate and review books, and connect with other readers. Goodreads also provides a platform for authors and publishers to promote their books and interact with readers. One of the key features of Goodreads is the bookshelf, which allows users to organize their reading lists and track the books they have read, want to read, and are currently reading. Users can create multiple bookshelves and customize them with different names and themes, such as 'favorites,' 'classics,' or 'summer reading.' Goodreads is a valuable resource for book lovers to discover new books, connect with like-minded readers, and keep track of their reading progress. However, there are some areas for improvement
