Seminar : Create Added Value Thanks to Machine Learning
The volume of data collected by companies has exploded in recent years, leading to the concept of ‘Big Data’. If properly processed, this data represents a significant wealth of information, with immense potential to help the business improve its decision-making process. However, experience tends to show that, for many companies, exploiting this data remains a real challenge.
This seminar is organised by HEC Liège Executive Education and the HEC Digital Lab.
