How to predict customer churn in a company ? - Soriba Diaby

#artificialintelligence

Banks, telephone service companies, Internet service providers, pay TV companies, insurance firms, and alarm monitoring services, often use customer attrition analysis and customer attrition rates as one of their key business metrics (along with cash flow, EBITDA, etc.) because the cost of retaining an existing customer is far less than acquiring a new one (Wikipedia). According to this article, the probability of selling to a new customer is 60-70%, while the probability of selling to a new prospect is 5-20%. So knowing if a customer is at risk of leaving is one of the most important tasks a company has to perform in order to keep growing its business. The data can be found here on kaggle public datasets. We will predict if a customer will churn based on his informations. There are 7043 customers and 20 features.

HBO Max mocked and consoled after sending odd 'integration test' email โ€“ as it blames message on intern

The Independent - Tech

HBO Max has been mocked and consoled after sending out an unusual email to its customers. The message โ€“ apparently sent to a significant numbers of the service's subscribers โ€“ was not advertising a new show or feature, but rather included only a cryptic message that appeared to have been sent out by mistake. "This template is used by integration tests only."

"Demon Slayer": The Viral Blockbuster from Japan

The New Yorker

One of the seismic cultural shifts of the pandemic era has been a migration into fantasies. Some of them are troubling, such as the conspiratorial prejudice that has fuelled QAnon and the recent surge in violence against those of Asian descent. Others are restorative: the immersive worlds of books, the virtual realities of video games, the hypnotic lull of binge-streamed television series. Many of the escapes that we use to nourish ourselves originated in Japan. The stunning success of Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which sold thirty-one million copies worldwide last year, is a striking example.
