Unstructured Organization Data Churn Analysis Using Dask and LLM

Customer churn remains a critical challenge for businesses striving to maintain long-term customer relationships. This project developed a Churn Analysis System leveraging Dask for distributed computing and Large Language Models (LLMs) for natural language processing to analyze unstructured organizational data. The system provided insights into patterns, trends, and indicators of customer churn, enabling decision-makers to reduce churn rates and improve customer retention strategies effectively.

Challenges

  1. Unstructured Data Complexity:
    • Customer data, including feedback and interactions, was primarily unstructured (e.g., emails, chat logs).
    • Extracting meaningful patterns required advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques.
  2. Data Scalability:
    • Large volumes of organizational data required a scalable computing framework for preprocessing and analysis.
  3. Identifying Churn Signals:
    • Determining subtle signals of churn amidst diverse customer behaviors and interactions was complex.
  4. Actionable Insights:
    • Translating analytical findings into actionable customer retention strategies posed challenges for decision-makers.
  5. Visualization and Communication:
    • Conveying insights effectively to stakeholders demanded intuitive dashboards and visualizations.
