Application of GWO-attention-ConvLSTM model in customer churn prediction and satisfaction analysis in customer relationship management

Abstract

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is vital in modern business, aiding in the management and analysis of customer interactions. However, existing methods struggle to capture the dynamic and complex nature of customer relationships, as traditional approaches fail to leverage time series data effectively. To address this, we propose a novel GWO-attention-ConvLSTM model, which offers more effective prediction of customer churn and analysis of customer satisfaction. This model utilizes an attention mechanism to focus on key information and integrates a ConvLSTM layer to capture spatiotemporal features, effectively modeling complex temporal patterns in customer data. We validate our proposed model on multiple real-world datasets, including the BigML Telco Churn dataset, IBM Telco dataset, Cell2Cell dataset, and Orange Telecom dataset. Experimental results demonstrate significant performance improvements of our model compared to existing baseline models across these datasets. For instance, on the BigML Telco Churn dataset, our model achieves an accuracy of 95.17%, a recall of 93.66%, an F1 score of 92.89%, and an AUC of 95.00%. Similar results are validated on other datasets. In conclusion, our proposed GWO-attention-ConvLSTM model makes significant advancements in the CRM domain, providing powerful tools for predicting customer churn and analyzing customer satisfaction. By addressing the limitations of existing methods and leveraging the capabilities of deep learning, attention mechanisms, and optimization algorithms, our model paves the way for improving customer relationship management practices and driving business success.
