Sustainability help you dive more deeply into your career
interests. For students interested in careers in finance or data
analytics, MIT Sloan has innovative programs to help them
succeed. The new one-year Master of Business Analytics (MBAn)
program is tailored for graduating college seniors and early-
stage professionals. This innovative program features Action
Learning labs, collaboration with other MIT Sloan programs,
a Summer Capstone project, career support, and tailored
electives in statistics, finance, economics, and operations
research. The program answers the industry’s demand for a
skilled pool of graduates who can apply data science to solve
business challenges. The 12-month and 18-month Master of
Finance (MFin) program is designed for students who want
to become leaders in the field of finance. The MFin program
combines in-depth study of quantitative techniques with
practical problem solving and the 18-month pilot allows
time for a summer internship. MIT Sloan is about invention.
It’s about ideas that are made to matter. At MIT Sloan, we
discover tomorrow’s interesting and important challenges and
opportunities. We go where we want to have impact. And then,
we invent the future.

Neusrel/Success Drivers

www.neusrel.comNEUSREL is the leading software
for exploring cause-effect networks
using the Universal Structure
Modeling approach. Because it leverages machine learning
techniques it is a self-learning system and the only methodology
to explore previously not hypnotized nonlinearities (of any form)
or interactions (of any type). It is the first system meeting the need
of researcher to explore success factors instead of just falsifying a
given set of hypothesis. It bridges the largely relevant gap between
qualitative exploration and statistical testing/modeling. NEUSREL
Causal Analytics is dedicated to provide software as well as training
and statistical consulting to the academic community.
Tuesday, November 15, 2:15–3pm
Technology Tutorial: NEUSREL is a self-learning causal analysis
software and leverages Advanced Machine Learning techniques.
It builds cause-effect networks (path models) in order to
understand the impact and role of success factors. The software
is the only solution worldwide that is able to explore unexpected
nonlinearities and unexpected interactions – a capability that not
only led to largely increased explanation power but turned out to
be crucial when understanding true key drivers of outcomes. The
software is applied in all fields where many factors drive a particular
outcome and therefore it is not clear how important those are and
how they interact.
