Title: Text mining: Finding hidden information in CRM data

Description: A client in the energy sector wanted to create predictive behavioural models of business customers at the company level, but the CRM data was messy, often containing several sub-accounts for each business, without any grouping identifiers, and so aggregation was impossible. In this talk I describe a short project where we used text mining, a handful of unsupervised learning techniques, and pragmatic use of human skill under time & budgetary constraints, to identify the true company level structures in the CRM data.
