[0061] It should be noted that the method for obtaining intervention measures for high-churn risk customers provided in the embodiment of the present application is generally executed by a server / terminal device, and accordingly, the device for obtaining intervention measures for high-churn risk customers is generally set in the server / terminal device.

[0062] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks and servers in the embodiment is only for illustration. Any number of terminal devices, networks and servers may be provided according to the implementation requirements.

[0063] Continue to refer Figure 2 , shows a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for obtaining intervention measures for high-loss risk customers according to the present application. The method for obtaining intervention measures for high-loss risk customers includes: step S201, step S202, step S203, step S204, step S205, step S206, step S207 and step S208.

[0064] In step S201, customer attribute characteristics of a high churn risk group are obtained.

[0065] In step S202, feature subsets related to the activity are extracted from the customer attribute features, wherein each feature subset corresponds to an intervention measure.

[0066] In step S203, each feature subset is divided into an intervention group and a control group.

[0067] In step S204, a random forest Uplift model is trained for each feature subset to obtain a plurality of trained random forest Uplift models.

[0068] In step S205, the incremental effect of each intervention measure is predicted and evaluated based on the trained random forest Uplift model to obtain the incremental effect.

[0069] In step S206, for each user in the high churn risk group, the incremental effects of all random forest Uplift models are integrated, and the current customer's comprehensive score for each intervention measure is calculated by weighted average.

[0070] In step S207, a personalized Uplift score matrix is ​​constructed according to the comprehensive score of each user.

[0071] In step S208, the intervention measures for each customer are prioritized according to the personalized Uplift scoring matrix to determine the optimal intervention measure.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, it is necessary to identify which customer groups have a higher risk of churn through data analysis, which is usually based on historical data, such as the customer's purchase history, service usage, account activity records, etc.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, a churn risk prediction model can be constructed through machine learning algorithms (such as logistic regression, decision trees, etc.) or statistical methods to identify groups with high churn risk.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, once these high-risk groups are identified, it is necessary to collect their customer attribute characteristics, such as age, gender, income level, geographic location, usage habits, etc.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, among the collected customer attribute features, features directly related to the intervention activities need to be screened out. These features should be able to reflect the customer's potential response to different intervention measures. For example, if the intervention measure is to provide coupons, then the customer's purchase frequency, average consumption amount and other features may be directly related to the response rate.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, each feature subset corresponds to an intervention measure, so that the effects of different intervention measures can be evaluated based on different feature subsets.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, for each feature subset, the customers therein need to be randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will receive specific intervention measures, while the control group will not receive any intervention as a baseline comparison.

[0078] In the present application embodiment, for each feature subset (i.e., each intervention measure), an Uplift model is trained using a random forest algorithm. The Uplift model is a special machine learning model that is used to evaluate the incremental effect of intervention measures on the target variable (i.e., the difference between the intervention group and the control group). By training these models, the potential impact of different intervention measures on customers in each feature subset can be predicted.

[0079] In the present application embodiment, the trained random forest Uplift model is used to predict and evaluate the incremental effect of each intervention measure. This usually involves calculating the difference between the intervention group and the control group in the target variable (such as retention rate, purchase amount, etc.).

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, for each user in the high churn risk group, the incremental effects of all random forest Uplift models are combined. The current customer's comprehensive score for each intervention measure is calculated by weighted average. This score reflects the customer's potential response to different intervention measures.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, a personalized Uplift score matrix is ​​constructed based on the comprehensive score of each user. This matrix shows each customer's score and priority for different intervention measures.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the intervention measures for each customer are prioritized according to the personalized Uplift scoring matrix. The intervention measure with the highest score or the most significant incremental effect is selected as the optimal intervention measure. This helps companies develop personalized retention strategies and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of intervention measures.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for obtaining intervention measures for customers with high churn risk is provided, including: obtaining customer attribute characteristics of a high churn risk group; extracting a feature subset related to the activity from the customer attribute characteristics, wherein each feature subset corresponds to an intervention measure; dividing each feature subset into an intervention group and a control group; training a random forest Uplift model for each feature subset to obtain several trained random forest Uplift models; predicting and evaluating the incremental effect of each intervention measure according to the trained random forest Uplift model to obtain the incremental effect; for each user in the high churn risk group, combining the incremental effects of all random forest Uplift models, calculating the current customer's comprehensive score for each intervention measure by weighted average; constructing a personalized Uplift score matrix according to the comprehensive score of each user; and prioritizing the intervention measures for each customer according to the personalized Uplift score matrix to determine the optimal intervention measure. Compared with the prior art, the present application can more accurately identify high churn risk groups and take targeted intervention measures to retain these customers. This can not only improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, but also reduce customer churn rate and enhance the overall competitiveness of the enterprise.

[0084] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, before the step of obtaining the customer attribute characteristics of the high churn risk group, the following steps are also included:

[0085] Obtain all customer historical behavior data and attribute feature data;

[0086] Build a customer churn prediction model based on the decision tree algorithm and attribute feature data;

[0087] Perform prediction operations on all user data based on the churn prediction model to obtain the churn probability information of each user;

[0088] The users corresponding to the churn probability information that meets the preset churn threshold are divided into a high churn risk group.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, the full amount of customer historical behavior data refers to all interaction records between customers and the enterprise in the past period of time, such as purchase records, browsing records, customer service consultation records, complaint records, etc. These data can reflect the customer's consumption habits, preferences, and satisfaction with the enterprise's products or services.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the attribute feature data includes static information of the customer, such as age, gender, occupation, income level, geographic location, etc. This information helps to understand the background and socioeconomic characteristics of the customer, thereby more comprehensively understanding the customer's behavior and churn risk.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, these data can be obtained through internal databases, customer relationship management systems (CRM), data warehouses, etc. At the same time, it is also possible to consider purchasing relevant data from third-party data providers to enrich and improve customer portraits.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the decision tree constructs a model by recursively segmenting the data set. In customer churn prediction, the decision tree can predict whether a customer will churn based on the customer's attribute feature data.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the prediction operation can input the full amount of user data into the trained churn prediction model, and the model will calculate the churn probability of each user based on the user's attribute feature data, where the churn probability information is a value between 0 and 1, indicating the possibility of user churn in the future. The closer the value is to 1, the higher the risk of user churn; the closer the value is to 0, the lower the risk of user churn.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset churn threshold is mainly used to determine whether the churn risk of the user is high enough to classify it into a high churn risk group, wherein the classification operation refers to comparing the churn probability of each user with the preset churn threshold. If the churn probability of the user is greater than or equal to the threshold, it is classified into a high churn risk group; if the churn probability of the user is less than the threshold, it is regarded as a low-risk or normal user.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, it is possible to accurately identify which users have a higher risk of churn, so as to take targeted retention measures, improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, and reduce customer churn rate. At the same time, this also provides enterprises with valuable market insights and decision-making support, helping them to formulate more accurate and effective marketing strategies.

[0096] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, after the step of obtaining the full amount of customer historical behavior data and attribute feature data, the following steps are also included:

[0097] Perform preprocessing operations on historical behavior data and attribute feature data.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, through preprocessing operations, the quality of historical behavior data and attribute feature data can be ensured, providing a solid foundation for subsequent data analysis and machine learning model training.

[0099] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned step of prioritizing the intervention measures for each customer according to the personalized Uplift scoring matrix and determining the optimal intervention measure specifically includes the following steps:

[0100] Obtain actual user response data for optimal intervention measures;

[0101] The random forest Uplift model is optimized based on the actual response data to improve the accuracy of the personalized Uplift score matrix.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the previous analysis, each user is assigned the best intervention measures (such as coupons, customized recommendations, customer service follow-up, etc.). These measures are communicated to users through the company's marketing channels (such as emails, text messages, APP push, etc.).

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, once the intervention measures are implemented, the enterprise needs to track the actual response of the user to these measures, including whether the user opens the pushed message, clicks on the link, uses the coupon, makes a purchase or other related behaviors.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the user's response behavior will be recorded in the enterprise's data system, such as CRM system, order system, log system, etc. These data include response time, response type (such as click, purchase), response amount, etc.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, the model optimization operation of the random forest uplift model according to the actual response data may be:

[0106] ① Data integration: Integrate the collected actual response data with the previous user attribute feature data, historical behavior data, and the feature subset previously used to train the Uplift model. This ensures that the data used in the model optimization process is comprehensive and consistent.

[0107] ②Model evaluation: Use actual response data to evaluate the performance of the previously trained random forest Uplift model. This includes calculating the model's accuracy, recall, F1 score and other evaluation indicators, as well as comparing the differences between the intervention group and the control group through methods such as A / B testing.

[0108] ③ Feature importance analysis: Analyze which features are most important in predicting user responses. This helps companies understand which user attributes or behavior patterns have a significant impact on the effectiveness of interventions, thereby better designing interventions in the future.

[0109] ④Model Adjustment: Based on the evaluation results and feature importance analysis, adjust the Random Forest Uplift model. This may include adding or removing features, adjusting model parameters (such as the number of trees, maximum depth, etc.), using different data preprocessing techniques, etc.

[0110] ⑤ Retraining: Retrain the Random Forest Uplift model using the adjusted features and parameters. This step aims to improve the model’s predictive power, making it more accurate in predicting users’ responses to different interventions.

[0111] ⑥ Model validation: After retraining the model, use a portion of the actual response data that did not participate in the model training for validation to ensure that the performance of the model has improved after optimization.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the random forest Uplift model can be continuously optimized to improve the accuracy of the personalized Uplift scoring matrix, thereby formulating more effective personalized marketing strategies, reducing customer churn rates, and improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.

[0113] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned step of prioritizing the intervention measures for each customer according to the personalized Uplift scoring matrix and determining the optimal intervention measure specifically includes the following steps:

[0114] Cluster users in high churn risk groups based on the K-means clustering algorithm and each user's personalized Uplift score matrix, and divide customers with similar responses into the same customer subgroup;

[0115] For each client subgroup, the Uplift score distribution of different intervention combinations was statistically analyzed to identify the optimal intervention measures that can maximize the positive response.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the clustering operation can be: first extract the user data of the high churn risk group, including their personalized Uplift score matrix. This matrix contains the user's scores for a variety of different interventions, reflecting the user's potential response to different interventions; determine the K value, which can be determined by business logic, data characteristics or experimental methods; use the K-means algorithm to cluster users, and the algorithm will assign users to K cluster centers (i.e., customer subgroups) according to the user's personalized Uplift score matrix, so that users in the same subgroup have similar Uplift score patterns; use indicators such as the Silhouette Coefficient and the Calinski-Harabasz Index to evaluate the quality of clustering to ensure that users are correctly divided into different subgroups.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, for each customer subgroup, their Uplift scores for different intervention combinations are collected. These scores reflect the potential response of users in the subgroup to specific intervention measures; for each intervention combination, the Uplift score distribution within the subgroup is calculated. This includes statistics such as the mean, median, and variance of the score to understand the performance of different intervention measures in the subgroup.

[0118] In the present application example, the effects of different interventions in subgroups are compared based on the distribution of Uplift scores. Generally, interventions with high mean and low variance are considered to be more effective because they can induce more stable and significant positive responses.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, for each customer subgroup, the intervention measure with the best Uplift score distribution is selected as the optimal intervention measure for the subgroup. This means that the measure can maximize the positive response in the subgroup and reduce the risk of customer churn.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, a personalized marketing strategy is formulated based on the optimal intervention measures for each customer subgroup. This includes determining the marketing channels, message content, discount strength, etc., to ensure that the intervention measures can accurately reach the target users and trigger a positive response.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, users in the high churn risk group can be more accurately identified and divided into different customer subgroups. For each subgroup, the enterprise can formulate personalized marketing strategies and select the best intervention measures to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty and reduce customer churn rate.

[0122] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, after the above step of statistically analyzing the Uplift score distribution of different intervention combinations for each customer subgroup and identifying the optimal intervention measure that can maximize the positive response, the following steps are also included:

[0123] Construct an intervention combination strategy selection model based on the customer attribute characteristics of the high churn risk group and the decision tree algorithm;

[0124] When a new user arrives, the customer attribute characteristics of the new user are analyzed according to the intervention combination strategy selection model, the optimal intervention combination is obtained and the intervention is implemented.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, an accurate intervention combination strategy selection model can be constructed, and personalized intervention measures can be provided for new users. This helps to reduce the risk of customer churn, improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, and thus enhance the overall competitiveness of the enterprise.
