Hello!
Currently I am leading artificial intelligence with my colleagues in ensemblecap.ai, an AI hedge fund based in Singapore. I am also an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute instructor enabling developers, data scientists, and researchers leverage on deep learning to solve the most challenging problems. Also, I’m into deep learning research with researchers based in NExT++ (NUS) led by Chua Tat-Seng and MILA led by Yoshua Bengio.
My passion for enabling anyone to leverage on deep learning has led to the creation of Deep Learning Wizard where I have taught and still continue to teach more than 2000 students in over 60 countries around the world. The course is recognized by Soumith Chintala, Facebook AI Research, and Alfredo Canziani, Post-Doctoral Associate under Yann Lecun, as the first comprehensive PyTorch Tutorial.
I was previously conducting research in deep learning, computer vision and natural language processing in NExT Search Centre led by Professor Tat-Seng Chua that is jointly setup between National University of Singapore (NUS) and Tsinghua University and is part of NUS Smart Systems Institute. During my time there, I managed to publish in top-tier conferences and workshops like ICML and IJCAI.
Oh yes! You can check out some of my cool stickman comics on Machine Learning if you are looking to chill with my stickman.
The Purpose of Artificial Intelligence
John Keynes predicted we would only work 15 hours a week. Yup, you heard it! I believe we can do that with even fewer stupendously productive hours. We can then spend the rest of our time doing other awesome things like Black Water Rafting. I bet you have never heard of that.
We can and will reach there by improving machine intelligence that can directly and indirectly improve people’s lives.

Credits
I would like to thank all my readers for their encouraging participation on this Github page. I would also like to thank Github Pages for serving this respository of notes for free.
I would like to give full credit to the respective authors for their free courses and materials online like Andrew Ng, Data School and Udemy where my notes are from them. These personal notes are meant for my personal review but I have open-sourced my repository of personal notes as a lot of people found it useful.
