Strategy Mining
Instructors: Philipp TerhörstShortname: Strategy Mining
Course No.: 03.996.3330
Course Type: Projektseminar
Requirements / organisational issues
The following are recommended:- Basic knowledge of machine learning and deep learning
- Programming skills (e.g., Python, PyTorch)
Contents
The module combines modeling, algorithmic decision-making, and data-driven analysis in a project-based setting. It is based on a formal decision scenario (e.g. a board game) that is implemented, solved algorithmically, and then analysed with respect to the underlying strategies. The goal is to derive comprehensible, human-interpretable strategies and insights from complex models or game data.Topics covered include:
- Formalisation and modelling of games or decision scenarios
- Simulation and data generation through algorithmic approaches (e.g. Monte Carlo methods, reinforcement learning)
- Data analysis and knowledge extraction using clustering and feature analysis
- Development and presentation of explainable strategies
Additional information
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:- Formally model and algorithmically analyse decision scenarios as games, by precisely describing state, action, and evaluation structures and selecting appropriate solution approaches.
- Implement, adapt, and evaluate algorithms for game analysis and strategy optimisation (e.g. Monte Carlo methods, reinforcement learning, search algorithms).
- Make data-driven strategies comprehensible by analysing game data, extracting underlying strategies, and interpreting and visualising them in a human-understandable way.
- Independently carry out a data-driven project, from problem definition through solution design, implementation, and experimentation to the evaluation and presentation of results.
