Objectifs

The master course « Algorithms for Business Intelligence and Digital Marketing » will focus on important algorithms for BI. We will go beyond the usual « black box » presentation of these modern methods. Indeed, it is crucial to have a global vision of these methods to make, for example, the link between the Marketing division and the IT division of a company. The goal will consist of having the minimal vocabulary and the conceptual understanding to be able to talk of Marketing Algorithms with data scientists and computer scientists. Thus, we will study carefully various classes of algorithms and understand the mathematical concepts behind them and explain how to use these algorithms in BI and Massive Data context.

Contenus

We will learn how to construct efficient algorithms for the following topics:

• Graph algorithms and optimization;
• Recommendation systems for digital marketing;
• Clustering methods and data visualization;
• Dimension reduction and mapping;
• Data mining and editing distance;
• Approximation algorithms for the travelling salesman problem;
• Randomized algorithms and parallel algorithms.
