PTMBA2022 Workshop Machine Learning
Data Mining is the extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information from data. Machine learning is an automated process that extracts patterns from data to build models used in predictive data analytics. Machine Learning algorithms automate the process of learning a particular model.
The objective of this course is to provide the technical background for data handling, data cleaning and preparation (structured/unstructured, real-time, sparse/incomplete data) and Machine Learning algorithms (supervised learning, unsupervised learning) to assess their managerial applicability.
We will use the language R for implementing Machine Learning algorithms on classification, clustering, and associations tasks for predictive analysis in the fields of marketing, finance, supply chain management, and economics. The theoretical content is complemented by hands-on activities for processing and analyzing real-time data from social networks and other databases. We’ll get our hands dirty in programming and we will look behind the scene of Machine Learning concepts and Artificial Intelligence to assess their business (added) value properly.
