The Fifth Elephant 2012

With the phenomenal growth of mobile multimedia applications across various device vendor-controlled App Stores, Communication Service Providers (CSP) are immensely challenged to identify new revenue streams due to the gradual cannibalization of its voice and messaging revenues by next generation social media players from the Internet community. Our aim is to create a real-time solution to enable CSPs to offer personalized service to its customers based on subscriber’s interests, behavior, location, demographics and service consumption in order to reduce customer churn and increase customer loyalty by strategically positioning themselves in this Web-connected social media world.

The prediction framework constitutes many filters on variable selection and makes use of LM/GLM models for different types of user activities.
