  • Banking Customer Churn Prediction and Analysis

    Customer churn is a common business metric across different industries, like telecommunication, music, and video streaming service, SaaS. Therefore, it is very important to know how to analyze this metric which will influence the company strategy and future.

    In this project, we will use different supervised machine learning models to predict if a banking customer will churn or not and do further analysis, then we'll also figure out the key factors related to customer churn, and guide the company to do better business actions to retain valuable customers. By completing the project, you will learn how to use Pandas for data exploration, data analysis, data preprocessing and Sklearn for machine learning models.

  • E-commerce Reviews Analysis and Topic Modeling

    With the rise of Internet, customers are increasingly willing to express their opinions. We can find that customers are highly likely to check reviews before purchases and also prefer to share their reviews and user experience, especially for online shopping. So through analysis of customer reviews, the company can better understand customers’ opinions and needs, and can make more informed business decisions. In this project, we’ll use machine learning to analyze an e-commerce company’s customer reviews data and find out the insights and internal relations of the reviews. Further, we can use these information to help us solve some business use cases, like improve conversion rate.

  • Movie Recommendation System Based on Auto-Encoder-Decoder

    With the rapid development of deep learning technology, more and more Internet companies are beginning to use deep learning in building recommendation systems. Deep learning enables end-to-end learning, compared to traditional recommendation systems.

    This project is based on the deep learning model auto-encoder-decoder network, using imdb movie data as training data, and tensorflow to build auto-encoder-decoder model. Features of users and movies are extracted through the model, and the automatic recommendation of movies is finally realized.

  • Time Series Data Analysis & Stock Index Prediction

    Time Series data is very common in our daily life. It is a collection of data obtained by measuring the time series of observations at equal time intervals. For example, the annual sales volume of apparel companies, the price of stocks, the annual precipitation of a city in meteorology, the average monthly temperature, and the PM2.5 index variation etc. Therefore, the analysis of time series data is capable for different real-life applications.

    This project is based on the deep learning model LSTM. Students will learn the principle of LSTM models and related technologies for analyzing time series data. This project uses NASDAQ stock data as the training data, and teaches students to build a deep learning model via TensorFlow, which later can be used to predict stock price variation and stock market index.

  • NYC Taxi Rides and Stock Market Indexes

    With the advancement of computer technology, it is now easy to dig out hidden information from unrelated data. For example, in the eighteenth century, stock prices fluctuate with the ships coming and going, because the merchant brought the latest news as well as the cargo. Other studies have found that company executives' visits to the White House can predict the future direction of the company's stock. In this project, we will follow the same line of thinking and analyze the relationship between New York taxis and the stock market. Does the seemingly complicated New York traffic have interesting information hidden?

    In this homework, the students will use all the knowledge they have learned to reasonably explore the data, including defining the appropriate business problem, asking reasonable questions, summarizing the data under right metrics, selecting reasonable statistical models, and verifying the conjecture.
