Making Predictive Analytics Productive: Are You Learning from Social Data?

Editor's Notes

  1. The way we go about our lead generation campaigns is we base them on a Unified strategy- we determine the goals of the client and these can be refined once we discuss a little more but then we also factor in the purpose of the potential leads who are seeking information. People are coming to Social Media Today to get information and make their business better. They are looking for a solution. Jive can be that solutionWe can guarantee the Social Media Today leads are better qualified because of the quality of the content, and the unique vision that understands what business you are in and what you are trying to achieve. We are not trying to simply deliver leads, we are trying to cultivate relationships and connect you to real customers.
  2. http://www.marketingprofs.com/charts/2013/11340/digital-marketers-on-twitter-share-retweet?adref=nl080613Quote on lower person reading article.Social Media Today’s number’s are growing exponentially lately, which is great for Jive because as we develop new content we ccanWE are unique in our reach
  3. We’d love to propose a content hub as a way to organize this lead generation campaign for Jive. The content hub can be specific to each of the verticals you are looking to focus on or can be more general to incorporate all three verticals and maybe more as the campaign grows. We envision leveraging existing Jive eBooks, whitepapers, and webinars to begin lead generation immediately (in the next few slides, I’ll show you how Oracle does this)

  5. Also applies to fraud detection. If your contacts commit fraud, so might you.In fact, one fraud scheme can't be detected without social data. A group of criminals open financial accounts that improve their respective credit ratings by transferring funds among themselves. Since the money transfers take place only between these accounts, the fraudsters need not spend any real money in conducting these transactions; they play their own little zero-sum game. Once each account has built up its own supposedly legitimate record, they strike, taking out loans, grabbing the money, and running. These schemes can be detected only by way of social data to reveal that the network of transactors is a closed group.
  6. If your friend's defect, you're much more likely to as well.Friends stick to the same cell phone company. If you switch wireless carriers, your contacts are in turn up to seven times more likely to follow suit.“Birds of a feather use the same phone service provider”http://blog.summation.net/2009/11/birds-of-a-feather-use-the-same-phone-service-provider.html“The Social Effect: Predicting Telecom Customer Churn with Call Data”http://www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/sanfrancisco/2010/agenda.php#day1-12
  7. Hebrew University identified 83 percent of sarcastic Amazon product reviews (e.g., "Trees died for this book?").
  8. “Polite Wikipedia editors are more likely to achieve high status through elections, but, once elevated, they become less polite.”A Computational Approach to Politeness with Application to Social Factors, byDanescu-Niculescu-Mizil et al:http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.6078http://www.mpi-sws.org/~cristian/Politeness.htmlSee also, determination of controversial Wikipedia articles:http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.5566
  9. PayPal identifies from written feedback customers who intend to leave (aka churn or defect) with 85 percent accuracy.www.textanalyticsworld.com/newyork/2011/agenda/full-agenda#day1-gold
  10. Microsoft works to predict which people are influential in a social network
