PROJECTS
Amazon Prime Video Data Analysis
· Built 5 different machine learning models to predict a movie’s cumulated view time per day in Amazon Prime Video
· Worked on Amazon Prime Video data set to pre-proposed the prime data such as Replace all the3424 missing value in the feature by the average of each feature
· Applied python packages(matplotlib, pandas plot, seaborn) for data exploration
· Investigated in the feature importance to find the top predictive features that influence a movie’s performance
· Chose Random Forest as the using model since it had the lowest Mean square error(130458013.467)

User Churn Prediction in Telecommunication Industry
· Applied algorithms to help telecommunication companies to predict customer churn probability to identify who will stop using service
· Processed raw data by categorical feature conversion by one-hot-encoding, data cleaning, feature scaling, etc
· Built supervised learning models including Random Forest, Logistic Regression to predict customer churn probability
· Used testing data to check whether models were overfitting and applied regularization to solve overfitting
