Publisher's Synopsis
"Machine learning, now a central part of artificial intelligence, would be a driving force to change the current world to a more autonomous society. This impact of machine learning appears in many fields, for example, science, engineering, finance, agriculture, to name a few. Marketing is rather behind this trend, while marketing has a lot of potential applications for machine learning. In other words, marketing may change into more autonomous scientific work by using data and also proper formulation of each application into a machine learning problem. This book focuses on two major, traditional paradigms of marketing: target marketing and relationship marketing. Then it is revealed that each of numerous aspects of the two marketing paradigms can be formulated into a machine learning problem. That is, for each problem, a machine learning model can be built and parameters of the model can be estimated/optimized from given data. For examp
