• Abstract: Within hospitality, marketing departments use segmentation to create tailored strategies to ensure personalized marketing. This study provides a data-driven approach by segmenting guest profiles via hierarchical clustering, based on an extensive set of features. The industry requires understandable outcomes that contribute to adaptability for marketing departments to make data-driven decisions and ultimately driving profit. A marketing department specified a business question that guides the unsupervised machine learning algorithm. Features of guests change over time; therefore, there is a probability that guests transition from one segment to another. The purpose of the study is to provide steps in the process from raw data to actionable insights, which serve as a guideline for how hospitality companies can adopt an algorithmic approach.

  We consider the task of classifying the activities of moving objects from their noisy indoor trajectory data in a collaborative manufacturing environment. We present a semi-supervised machine learning approach that first applies an information theoretic criterion to partition a long trajectory into a set of segments. The segments are then labelled automatically based on a constrained hierarchical clustering method.

  We supply, to the best of our knowledge, the first open source simulation platform, Open SOUrce Market Simulator (OSOUM) to analyze trading markets and specifically data markets. We describe and implement a specific data market model, consisting of two types of agents: sellers who own various datasets available for acquisition, and buyers searching for relevant and beneficial datasets for purchase. Although commercial frameworks, intended for handling data markets, already exist, we provide a free and extensive end-to-end research tool for simulating possible behavior for both buyers and sellers participating in (data) markets.
