Machine Learning in Business Analytics

Catalog description

Machine learning (ML) extracts meaningful insights from raw data to quickly solve complex, data-rich business problems. Organizations generate large volume of structured and unstructured data that needs to be analyzed. Machine Learning can increase the power of decision making by extracting insights from large data. In this course, students will learn the core concepts and different techniques of machine learning and examine how they can be used to improve business decision making. Using R, students will apply the machine learning techniques on large business datasets. Students will learn the application of machine learning algorithms in multiple business domains (e.g. Healthcare, Supply Chain, and Banking) to gain useful business insights. (Offered in Fall and Spring)
