LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Identify and analyze the fundamental concepts of the machine learning methods
  • Distinguish different machine learning methods for different types of data
  • Evaluate a suitable machine learning method for analyzing and solving business problems using software support
  • Analyze and compare the results of selected machine learning models
  • Choose the optimal machine learning model using appropriate tests

TARGET AUDIENCE

  • Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students:
    Students pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in economics, business, social sciences, technical sciences, or related fields.
  • Graduate Students:
    Graduate students in economics, social sciences, technical sciences, or related fields who wish to expand their expertise in the area.

CREDITS TRANSFERS (ECTS)

This FEBT Summer school program offers participants the possibility of going through evaluation process for the purspose of requesting official credit transfers (ECTS).

  • Evaluation process

Participants who wish to acquire 6 ECTS will be evaluated based on the regular and active course attendance and taking two mid-term exams and writing a final paper assignment (the project task is individual or group work which implies selection of the suitable machine learning method for a particular problem, analysis and comparison of the results and selection of the optimal model).

CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE

Participants not interested in credit transfer will instead receive the Certificate of Attendence, stating the course completed. These students will be neither evaluated nor graded.
