A game theory-assisted machine learning methodology for subscriber churn behaviors detection by Ye OUYANG, Aidong YANG, Fanyu MENG

“…At the end of November 2019,China officially implemented the number portability policy (MNP) that has been in trial for 9 years.The policy will strengthen the liquidity and competitiveness of the telecommunication market,making the problem of subscriber churn more prominent.A game theory-assisted machine learning methodology was proposed,verified and commercialized timely,which could help mobile network operator (MNO) actively respond to competition in the MNP market.The proposed methodology provides MNO with a machine learning model to detect subscriber portability and give differentiated treatment.Experimental results show that the proposed methodology can guide MNOs to make a targeted MNP strategy,and precisely identify “abnormal” subscribers who tend to churn-out and potential new subscribers who may churn-in.In addition,the proposed methodology has been successfully commercialized,greatly improving the marketing efficiency of operators,increasing user satisfaction,and reducing the loss of users by about 50% for a tier-1 MNO in China.…”

Multi-camera video collaborative analysis method based on edge computing by Zhibo QI, Lei DU, Ru HUO, Fan YANG, Tao HUANG

“…In order to reduce the processing volume of multi-camera real-time video data in smart city scenarios, a video collaborative analysis method based on machine learning algorithms at the edge was proposed.Firstly, for the important objects detected by each camera, different key windows were designed to filter the region of interest (RoI) in the video, reduce the video data volume and extract its features.Then, based on the extracted data features, the same objects in the videos from different cameras were annotated, and a strategy for calculating the association degree value between cameras was designed for further reducing the video data volume.Finally, the GC-ReID algorithm based on graph convolutional network (GCN) and re-identification (ReID) was proposed, aiming at achieving the collaborative analysis of multi-camera videos.The experimental results show that proposed method can effectively reduce the system latency and improve the video compression rate while ensuring the high accuracy, compared with the existing video analysis methods.…”
