Abstract:

User growth value reflects users stickiness, and growth value prediction is important to accurate marketing. This paper focuses on the study of users growth portraits. For problems, disorganized raw data and unpredictable user features, this paper applies scatter diagram analysis to extract behavior features and stable time features influencing the users growth value, and compares two feature selection theories, Tree-based and L1 norm to recognize key features. For the issue of insufficient labeled training dataset, this paper improved the COREG algorithm, enriching labeled dataset through semi-supervised regression, promoting the prediction accuracy, and reducing the algorithms time complexity. Finally, this paper utilizes Stacking method to integrate different models advantages. Experiments based on the data from SMP CUP 2017, provided by the CSDN blog platform, show that the methods proposed in this paper effectively enhances models generalization ability and prediction accuracy.

Key words: user growth value, user profile, feature extraction, semi-supervised regression, ensemble method
