The client ask was to segment customers based on their ethnicity, disposition type, gender, net sales and household income

Approach

  • Completed an in-depth study of existing approach, data characteristics, features used to understand the pitfalls in the solution
  • Enriched the data, did feature engineering with domain and stats driven approach
  • Model Selection - The Random Forest model with SMOTE was the best performing model with a 2% increase, including marketing insights data. The ROC(Receiver Opera/ng Characteristics) curve was used to measure model accuracy. Under sampling, oversampling, synthetic data genera/on and cost-sensitive learning, methods used to address the imbalanced dataset.
  • Operationalizing the Model - KNIME Server, a Data Science & Machine Learning Platform, was implemented and used for versioning and deployment
