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.
This course will extend the knowledge in machine learning methods applied to economics, going beyond the traditional unsupervised and supervised methods. The main goal is that the students can understand and apply sophisticated models in economic applications. Examples of relevant applications are algorithmic trading, portfolio optimization and dynamic pricing. The main topic will be reinforcement learning.
Læringsutbytte
After having completed the course the candidate should be able to:
- explain and implement the techniques learned;
- choose the more suitable approach for a specific economic application;
- recognize the opportunities and challenges of using AI in each context.
