I Trained Six Models for Fraud Detection, and the Best One Isn't in Production
My final-year project involved training six distinct models for fraud detection, revealing a surprising disconnect between evaluation metrics and real-world production decisions. While one model demonstrably outperformed the others during testing, it remains untapped in our current system. This experience illuminated the critical gap between rigorous evaluation and practical implementation—a challenge many data scientists face.

YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money
YouTube’s recent policy shift significantly raises the bar for creators seeking monetization. Now, qualifying for the YouTube Partner Program requires accumulating at least 8,000 valid watch hours within the past year, or achieving 20 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days. This adjustment reflects a focus on quality and engagement.
