• Abstract: Modern e-commerce services frequently target customers with incentives or interventions to engage them in their products such as games, shopping, video streaming, etc. This customer engagement increases acquisition of more customers and retention of existing ones, leading to more business for the company while improving customer experience. Often, customers are either randomly targeted or targeted based on the propensity of desirable behavior. However, such policies can be suboptimal as they do not target the set of customers who would benefit the most from the intervention and they may also not take account of any constraints. In this paper, we propose a policy framework based on uplift modeling and constrained optimization that identifies customers to target for a use-case specific intervention so as to maximize the value to the business, while taking account of any given constraints. We demonstrate improvement over state-of-the-art targeting approaches using two large-scale experimental studies and a production implementation.

  We propose a novel client selection strategy designed to emulate the performance achieved with full client participation. In a single round, we select clients by minimizing the gradient-space estimation error between the client subset and the full client set. In multi-round selection, we introduce a novel individual fairness constraint, which ensures that clients with similar data distributions have similar frequencies of being selected.

  This work proposes a system to scale intent predictions to various clients effectively, by combining a single generic model with a per-client list of relevant intents. Our approach minimizes training and maintenance costs while providing a personalized experience for clients, allowing for seamless adaptation to changes in their relevant intents. The final system exhibits significantly superior performance compared to industry-specific models, showcasing its flexibility and ability to cater to diverse client needs.

  Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is the total monetary value of transactions/purchases made by a customer with the business over an intended period of time. CLV finds application in a number of distinct business domains such as Banking, Insurance, Online-entertainment, Gaming, and E-Commerce. We propose a system which is able to qualify both as effective, and comprehensive yet simple and interpretable.

  We consider a dynamic model with the consumers' preferences as well as price sensitivity varying over time. We measure the performance of a dynamic pricing policy via regret, which is the expected revenue loss compared to a clairvoyant that knows the sequence of model parameters in advance. Our regret analysis results not only demonstrate optimality of the proposed policy but also show that for policy planning it is essential to incorporate available structural information.

  We propose a framework of multiple treatment promotion decision making by modeling each customer's direct and enduring response. First, we propose a customer direct and enduring effect (CDEE) model which predicts the customer direct and enduring response. With the help of the CDEE, we personalize incentive allocation to optimize the enduring effect while keeping the cost under the budget.

  We propose a principled framework for considering the limiting policies of other agents as the time approaches infinity. Specifically, we develop a new optimization objective that maximizes each agent's average reward by directly accounting for the impact of its behavior on the limiting set of policies that other agents will take on. Thanks to our farsighted evaluation, we demonstrate better long-term performance than state-of-the-art baselines in various domains.
