Abstract
Digital channels like search engines, online social networking websites and smartphones has revolutionized the way marketers communicate. Successful strategies demand the right consumer insights and effective reading of the social landscape.They are also all driven by data, in some sense. However, it is extremely difficult to get a handle on all the data that consumers leave behind in digital channels. The talk will introduce the background of digital marketing and the challenges in data collection, data storage, data cleaning & Integration, and data mining. The talk will also show a case study on retailer sales driver analysis using ensemble learning.
