Recent work

Order Book: Implemented a high-performance order matching engine designed for low-latency financial trading applications

Accuracy or Interpretability: Benchmarked these approaches on the Ames Housing dataset, analysing the trade-off between interpretability and accuracy and discussing the contexts where each model family is most appropriate.
