Predicting Hotel Cancellations with Machine Learning

Talkat Big Data Conference Europe 2019 · 2019-11-26..11-28· [machine-learning]
slides:none on file

Uses a hotel bookings dataset with feature selection via ExtraTrees, heavy pandas manipulation and notebooks on the mg course and stats GitHub, then compares logistic regression, SVM and a neural net (500 epochs) to classify cancellations, giving AUC 74% (SVM), ~76% (NN). Time series work contrasts ARIMA on trending data with LSTM on jumpy series; LSTM predicts direction 80% of the time using five lagged weeks and 20 epochs. Amazon SageMaker is used for cloud runs.
