W10 WORKSHOP: KDD-Cup 2009: Fast Scoring on a Large Database (KDDcup09)


14:00 - 17:30 on Sunday, 28 June 2009 in St Germain des Prés B

This workshop will discuss the results of the KDD cup 2009. The competition is organized around a large dataset provided by the French telecom company Orange. It is a problem of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), a key element of modern marketing strategies. Orange offered the opportunity to work on a large marketing database to predict the propensity of customers to switch provider (churn), buy new products or services (appetency), or buy upgrades or add-ons proposed to them to make the sale more profitable (up-selling).
