Goals
Structural modeling and machine learning methods are being increasingly used in research on technology. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce Ph.D. students/researchers to the integrated framework of structural modeling and machine learning. As most of the researchers involved in these methodological domains would agree, the upfront cost of learning and applying structural modeling and machine learning is a quite steep. The workshop would aim to reduce the upfront cost of learning by providing several hands-on tutorials on structural modeling and machine learning. The objective of the workshop is also to open up common ground for future discussions between Ph.D. students and colleagues across schools who use/ wish to use structural modeling and machine learning methods in information systems research.
