3 hr.; 3 credits<\/em>
Prerequisites:<\/b>\u00a0ECON 382 or MATH 242.<\/em>
Description:<\/strong>\u00a0Machine learning is considered as a branch of artificial intelligence that uses large data sets for tasks such as identifying patterns and making predictions. Data science may also be considered broader than machine learning, with the latter being a set of tools or computer algorithms used by the former. This course introduces the most popular tools in machine learning. These tools (clustering, regression, decision trees, neural networks, etc.) have been very successful in areas such as computer vision and natural language processing, and can also be applied in business to customer segmentation, fraud detection, credit decisions, sales forecasting, prediction of house prices, sentiment analysis, etc.
The main objective of the course is to understand how these algorithms work and interpret their results. Another objective is to develop programming (and presentation) skills as they have become a prerequisite for many jobs in business. Students will conduct their empirical analysis in Python, the main programming language in machine learning.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
