User churn is a challenge for just about any business and organization -- particularly here in LA where we have so many content-related companies and services. Come join a discussion with David Gerster (http://www.linkedin.com/in/gerster), VP of Data Science at BigML (http://www.bigml.com), to learn how emerging machine learning and predictive analytics tools can be used to identify and address customer churn. David will walk you through his previous experience applying machine learning techniques to assess customer loyalty while he was Director of Data Science at Groupon, and will also give demonstration of BigML's hosted machine learning platform for predictive analytics.
