报告摘要：Mobile gaming has emerged as a promising market with billion-dollar revenues. A variety of mobile game platforms and services have been developed around the world. One critical challenge for these platforms and services is to understand user churn behavior in mobile games. Successful churn prediction will benefit many stakeholders such as game developers and platform operators. In this talk, I will first present a large-scale churn prediction solution for mobile games. I will demonstrate the performance of our solution by using the collected real-world data from a commercial mobile gaming platform that includes tens of thousands of games and hundreds of millions of user-app interactions. Also, I will briefly present a framework for mobile game app recommendation that includes both offline and online components.
