INTRODUCTION
On the Monday and Tuesday, 10-11 October 2022, the School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS) organizes a new course on “Machine Learning and Optimisation”. This two-day course will take place in Utrecht. The course will be given in English and is part of the Educational Program for SIKS PhD candidates. It is a course with a broad focus, aimed at all SIKS PhD candidates regardless of the research area they are actually working on. Although this course is primarily intended for SIKS PhD candidates, other participants are not excluded. However, their admittance will be restricted and depends on the number of SIKS PhD candidates who wish to enroll.
