RSS02.E6 Introduction to Machine Learning for Social Sciences
From customer-recommendation systems to policy design and implementation, machine learning algorithms are ubiquitous in a big data world. Their potential is now being explored in the social sciences.
In this course participants will learn the fundamentals of machine learning as a data analysis approach for social sciences, and will have an overview of the most common and versatile classes of ML techniques in use today.
The goal is that at the end participants will be able to identify what kind of technique is more suitable for their question and data, and how to design, test and interpret their models. They will also be equipped with sufficient basic knowledge to proceed independently for more advanced applications.
This is an introductory course for those who are comfortable with social science statistics but have no background in machine learning or computer science.
