Eating humble Py: From toy problem to real-world solution in predicting Customer Lifetime Value
Recorded talk at PyData Yerevan. YouTube link: https://tinyurl.com/36xr28bj I should have known I was up against it when even my Kaggle solution sucked. I’d been tasked with launching our company’s research efforts into Customer Lifetime Value prediction, so naturally, I turned to that grail of tutorials and toy datasets, and started exploring. Very quickly I learned two things: the go-to CLV dataset was not worth going to, and I really needed some retail domain experts. This is the story of my team’s journey from play-problem to real-world solution. Learn, as we learned, what is Customer Lifetime Value and why does everyone in retail suddenly want to predict it? Take a tour of common approaches to solving this problem, from machine learning to good old fashioned spreadsheets. Feel all the practical pains our clients inflicted on us, and discover why CLV prediction is not as easy as Towards Data Science makes it out to be.
