Welcome

Intro

Hi,there.

My name is Xiaoguo. I am super passionate about data science, deep learning and robotics, and I am a strong believer of life-long learning and knowledge sharing.

There are so many cool innovations emerging from AI and robotics in this century. The era of Digital Transformation is coming and it's like an unrelenting wave that is going to revolutionize ourlives in incredible ways. It's critical that we can catch and ride this wave, and it's my passion is to share my knowledge with enthusiastic like you.

I hope you enjoy the contents I have to offer. VENI, VIDI, VICI!

Knowledge is not fun if we can't share it!

Maybe you are looking to create your first Computer Vision project
Or maybe you are into Natural Language Processing and want to setup a BERT-based sentiment analysis tool for your firm
Or maybe you just got started with Data Science and need some guidance on your data pipeline
Or maybe you are an active contributor and are looking for tricks on popular frameworks such as PyTorch, FastAI, TensorFlow, Hugging Face or SKLearn
Or maybe you want to make your robot more agile and intellent
Then I am excited to share my knowledge with you.

Here is my style: I will decipher the pertaining most state-of-the-art papers for you, and then there will be a heavily commented code implementation that you can take and use for your project right away

Now, let's get technical and teleport!

Surgical Robotics

When talking about surgical robots, the first thing that comes to people's mind is the famous Da Vinci surgical system . While Da Vinci in surgical robotics is like Micheal Jordan in basketball, there is a new kind of surgical robots emerging with even more potential of offering advanced minimally invasive surgical capabilities: endoscopic surgical robots.
Here in NTU Robotics Research Centre, we develop the next-generation of surgical robots that is extremely small, dexterous but powerful. The robot enters from natural orifices without having to open up any wound on the human body resulting in minimized damage and a faster & safer recovery for the patients.
The AI-powered system provides real-time haptic feedback to the surgeon so that the operation goes even faster and more accurate.

When I'm not working

Doing a Ph.D. gives me great flexibility in my time schedules and I do all kinds of sports when I'm not beating down on a keyboard or tinkering my robot.

Tennis is my all time favourite. There is pure pleasure when you hammered that ball into your oppenonts backhand corner. On the more gentle side of the sport, I am a tennis coach in our local community. Just like everything else, teaching and mentoring is the best form of human interaction.

I love traveling! Wherever I go, I always like look for exciting spots for surfing. There is something peculiar about surfing in that it's a sport where more than 95% of the experience is struggling and there is no guarantee that you gets to pop-up on your surfer board and enjoy the 5% riding on the wave that has been beating you down over and over.
That's what I love about surfing, it bears a striking resemblance to everything we want to achieve in life.

    print 'Iteration ' + i;
    deck.shuffle();
    i++;

print 'It took ' + i + ' iterations to sort the deck.';
