COURSES

The course will give some insights of Decision Support Systems from two orthogonal perspectives: an optimization-based approach, based on symbolic AI (1st part) and a data-driven approach, based on sub-symbolic AI (2nd part).
Upon completing the entire learning process, students should be able to:
• get an overall idea of what DSS are, and how to handle them from different perspectives
• identify decision problems addressable with a data-driven approach
• know the basics of modeling with constraints and MiniZinc

Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Management
