Sessions
I should have known I was up against it when even my Kaggle solution sucked. I’d been tasked with launching our company’s research efforts into Customer Lifetime Value prediction, so naturally, I turned to that grail of tutorials and toy datasets, and started exploring. Very quickly I learned two things: the go-to CLV dataset was not worth going to, and I really needed some retail domain experts.
