Abstract:
A method and system are provided. The method includes converting, by a computer having a processor and a memory, categorical sequence data for a customer journey into a numerical similarity matrix. The method further includes learning, by the computer, features of the customer journey by applying a distance metric learning based matrix factorization approach to the numerical similarity matrix.
