Asset management : excess inventory identification through parts clustering
February 1, 2016 – Present
We built a framework for training hierarchical clustering and connected component analysis models for identifying excess inventory in the products manufactured by a large company. Using PL/Python on Pivotal's MPP databases (Greenplum/HAWQ), we harnessed the machine learning libraries in SciPy and scikit-learn, to build scalable, in-database solutions for asset management.
Text analytics for predicting insurance claims (Insurance)
December 1, 2015 – Present
We built text analytics models to predict insurance claims from structured and unstructured data sources. We harnessed models from libraries like MADlib, scikit-learn and NLTK to build in-database scalable solution for predicting insurance claim amounts on Pivotal's MPP stack (Greenplum/HAWQ).
Subscriber Session Analysis using Topic Models and Clustering
January 1, 2015 – Present
Analyzed subscriber sessions on a class of devices (financial industry) using Topic Models (LDA) and Clustering.
Student Segmentation and Retention Modeling (Education)
April 1, 2014 – September 1, 2015
We built a student segmentation model for a large educational provider and laid the foundation for identifying students at risk of dropping out. We used a variety of source systems including demographics, grade book, discussion boards, course data to build clustering, regression and classification models. The Pivotal Greenplum MPP database was our platform along with MADlib and PL/Python for the machine learning algorithms.
Analysis and Simulation of Frequency Capping on Video Ad Impressions (Digital Media)
March 1, 2014 – Present
We analyzed user consumption behavior of video ads for a large digital media company and modeled the effect of applying frequency caps on ad impression per issuer. To this end we built a simulation pipeline which could analyze the effect of frequency capping on terabyte-scale impression logs and presented insights on the effect of frequency cap on key metrics like ad revenue, burn-rate, forecasted surplus impressions etc. The analysis and simulation was built on MPP (Massively Parallel Platform) on top of Hadoop using a mix of open source tools in Python and C++. Companies can bring in new revenues of the order of a couple of million dollars through our analysis and insights.
Subscriber Segmentation using Messaging System Logs (Telecom)
March 1, 2014 – Present
I analyzed the messaging system logs of a major Telecom provider and used it to build a subscriber segmentation model. The goal of this engagement was to show the value in the messaging logs our customer was already collecting and processing it at scale on the Pivotal Technology stack. The subscriber clusters we uncovered helped our customer in better assessing the growth in their subscriber segments and in capacity planning for the same. We used MADlib and PL/Python (procedural Python) on top of Pivotal's Greenplum MPP database.
Commodity Futures Prediction with Tweets (Social Media)
April 1, 2013 – Present
We used sentiment analysis of Twitter data from GNIP to predict commodity futures for a major agri-business cooperative. Sentiment analysis along with tweet metadata helped us in gathering valuable features in predicting commodity futures. Our sentiment analysis algorithm was semi-supervised and is portable across multiple domains in English. We implemented this at scale on the Pivotal Greenplum MPP database with PL/Python.
Shrinkage Prediction for large Supermarket (Retail)
February 1, 2013 – Present
Shrinkage is the process of lost revenue owing to items getting lost, stolen, wasted or consumed between point of manufacture and point of sale. We used data from along with point-of-sale data to identify groups of stores and products showing similar shrinkage characteristics, this laid the foundation in developing an early warning system to identify products and stores at risk of shrinkage and taking remedial action to minimize shrinkage loss. A ran clustering and co-clustering algorithms at scale across hundreds of thousands of products and hundreds of stores to uncover interesting products and store clusters. The point-of-sale data further were correlated with products worst affected with shrinkage. We used Pivotal's Greenplum MPP database with MADlib to solve this problem.
Topic and Sentiment Analysis of Call Center Logs for Churn Prediction (Telecom)
December 1, 2012 – Present
We blended unstructured data (call center transcriptions) with structured data (demographics, billing history, rate plans, device information, call logs, text statistics) to enhance a churn model's accuracy for a major Telecom company. We used Topic and Sentiment Analysis of call center transcriptions to uncover interesting subscriber behavior that was indicative of Churn. Our blended model delivered significant improvements in Churn prediction for our customer.
