Faglig innhold

Advanced course in economic applications of machine learning and AI is an intensive PhD course offered through the project "COMPutational economics and optimization - Agents, Machines and Artificial intelligence" (COMPAMA). COMPAMA is developing an emerging interdisciplinary area in the borderland between economics, optimization, psychology, machine learning and AI with the main purpose to understand the economic impact of decisions, made by both machines and human agents.
