In Search of an Integrative Method to Study Unconscious Processing: An Application of Bayesian and General Recognition Theory Models to the Processing of Hierarchical Patterns in t... by Antonio Prieto, Pedro R. Montoro, Mikel Jimenez, José Antonio Hinojosa

“…We combined a priming task where participants had to report global or local shapes, with the use of subjective and objective awareness measures collected either in a separate block (offline), or trial-by-trial during the main task (online). The unconscious processing of the masked primes was then evaluated through two different novel model-based methods: a Bayesian and a General Recognition Theory modeling approach. …”

A game theory-assisted machine learning methodology for subscriber churn behaviors detection by Ye OUYANG, Aidong YANG, Fanyu MENG

“…At the end of November 2019,China officially implemented the number portability policy (MNP) that has been in trial for 9 years.The policy will strengthen the liquidity and competitiveness of the telecommunication market,making the problem of subscriber churn more prominent.A game theory-assisted machine learning methodology was proposed,verified and commercialized timely,which could help mobile network operator (MNO) actively respond to competition in the MNP market.The proposed methodology provides MNO with a machine learning model to detect subscriber portability and give differentiated treatment.Experimental results show that the proposed methodology can guide MNOs to make a targeted MNP strategy,and precisely identify “abnormal” subscribers who tend to churn-out and potential new subscribers who may churn-in.In addition,the proposed methodology has been successfully commercialized,greatly improving the marketing efficiency of operators,increasing user satisfaction,and reducing the loss of users by about 50% for a tier-1 MNO in China.…”
