Foreign exchange prediction and trading using nature-inspired techniques by Ng, Kai Boon

“…However, none of the algorithm are proven the best and most accurate for the use of forex prediction. Hence, this project will design a software (MATLAB) which will be able to predict the forex values using one of the nature-inspired technique, Genetic Algorithm(GA), in comparison with the actual value to determine the accuracy of the algorithm. …”

Visualization of engine design, simulation and optimization by Wang, Yan Chao

“…However, it is impractical for human beings to go through the raw data to have a clear understanding to conduct data analysis, as these datasets have a large-scale size and complex data formats. Hence such data understanding requires closely coupled human and data analysis, where information visualization comes into play. …”

A ranking of critical competencies for maritime logistics executives in the era of digitalisation by Ng, Charlene Xin Ying

“…Numerous research over the last two decades have shown a variety of updated or integrated frameworks based on the BLM (Business, Logistics and Management) model, but they have yet to present one that emphasises on rising trends such as digitalisation, geopolitics, and sustainability. Hence, this paper closes the research gap by identifying and ranking the key competencies required by MLEs in an era of digitalisation by utilising a theory-driven method. …”
