Maskininlärning handlar om statistiska prediktioner som förbättras genom erfarenhet; modellen lär och anpassar sig allt eftersom nya data blir tillgängliga. Exempelvis priset som en matvarubutik kan ta ut av en leverantör för en annons beror på hur bra den är på att hitta de kunder som är benägna att köpa leverantörens produkter. På samma sätt är det pris som Google kan ta ut för en annonslänk dirMachine learning refers to statistical model predictions that that improve through experience; as new data arrive, the model learns and adapts. For instance, the price that the supermarket can charge for advertisements depends critically on its ability to learn from the data which customers that are likely prospects for a particular supplier’s product. Similarly, the price that Google can charge f

Föreställningar om makt har under lång tid haft en undanskymd roll i litteraturen kring miljöpolitik och miljöpolitisk förändring. Kursen sammanför dessa teman. En sådan kombination är lärorik av flera skäl. För det första ger tillämpningen av olika teoribildningar och maktbegrepp en rad perspektiv som bidrar till att förklara och förstå miljöpolitisk styrning, och det ger också insikter om centrFor a long time, the question of power has played a minor role in the literature on environmental politics and transformation. This course brings together these two themes. Such a combination is instructive for several reasons. First and generally, applying different theories and their concepts of power provides a range of perspectives for explaining and interpreting environmental governance - an
