Product Propensity Report (2)

What is a Product Propensity Report?

Cultivating a long-term customer relationship requires intelligent marketing efforts based on a solid understanding of the types of products a particular customer or group of customers would most likely be interested in based on their past behavior. Aunalytics has nearly a decade’s worth of experience assisting our clients with data analysis projects and now offers the fruits of that experience as the Product Propensity Report Framework for our Daybreak™ Analytic Database subscribers. The Product Propensity Report Framework (PPRF) provides a customized dataset with an individualized analysis of every customer’s propensity for new financial services products by type. Think of it like a PivotTable in Excel with a row for every customer and columns representing each of the products your institution offers with a propensity score showing the likelihood that customer might opt for that product.

Product Propensity Report table

The preceding example is purely illustrative since every Product Propensity Report is customized to the types of products and services offered by our clients, but it shows the general structure of how such a report might look like for a client offering five different products. In this example, customers receive a decimal score (0-1) for each product, or an indication that the customer already has that product (NA). In this example, we can see that Jane Smith is predicted to be very likely to open a checking account or possibly a credit card account, whereas John Doe and Jill Ramos will likely open a credit card account, and Jack Jones will most likely be interested in a retirement account.

Aunalytics generates these Product Propensity Reports for clients based on a machine learning algorithm that learns about new accounts opened from your organization’s historical data. This algorithm digs into data about transactions and current product utilization to construct a model that can identify future customers’ propensities based on patterns in this data. The output of this model is tailored uniquely to your organization’s product offerings and trained on your organization’s data in order to provide you with reporting that gives you a deeper glimpse into what your customers are after and how best to tailor your outreach to connect those customers with the products and services they are most interested in.

ECML PKDD 21

Aunalytics to Present on Natural Language Interface Synthesis of SQL Database Queries at The 2021 European Conference on Machine Learning and Practice of Knowledge Discovery

Leading Data Platform Provider to Showcase New NL2SQL System with Natural Language Interface for Deployment on Enterprise Data Marts in the Banking Sector

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 13, 2021Aunalytics, a leading data platform company delivering Insights-as-a-Service for enterprise businesses, will present a new paper to be showcased at the ECML-PKDD 2021 Virtual Event, taking place online, September 13-17. During the event, David Cieslak, Chief Data Scientist for Aunalytics, will discuss the use of natural language interface synthesis of SQL database queries leveraging the company’s new NL2SQL System.

Natural language interface integration with database environments is a growing field that enables end users to interact with relational databases without technical database skills. These interfaces solve the problem of synthesizing SQL queries based on natural language input from the user. There are considerable research interests around the topic but there are few systems to date that are deployed on top of active enterprise data marts.

At ECML-PKDD 2021, Aunalytics will introduce the NL2SQL system and present on data simulations that provide adaptive feedback for continuous model advancement. The architecture of the NL2SQL is built on WikiSQL data and research conducted by the data science team at Aunalytics. The company supports multiple scenarios using a unique table expansion process. The data simulation and the feedback loop help the model continuously adjust to linguistic variation introduced by the domain specific knowledge.

“We are excited to explore this emerging area with the professionals attending ECML-PKDD 2021,” said David Cieslak, Chief Data Scientist, Aunalytics. “Advancements in natural language integration with today’s most widely deployed data marts is expected to improve business outcomes for financial institutions seeking next-level business intelligence.”

The ECML-PKDD 2021 event is the premier European machine learning and data mining conference, building upon more than 19 years of successful events and conferences held across Europe.

What is the Aunalytics Loan Default Risk Smart Feature?

Loan agreement document with fountain pen

Loan underwriting represents one of the most significant risk factors for financial institutions. Through nearly a decade of work with financial institutions, Aunalytics has developed an algorithm for training machine learning models that learn from your organization’s historical loan default data about the most significant factors predicting loan defaults among your customers. The Aunalytics Loan Default Risk Smart Feature™ provides a score of loan default risk based only on data available at the time of a credit application. 

Our multi-indicator risk model significantly improves upon the accuracy provided by purely statistically-based risk models such as FICO scores and the actuarial tables used by underwriters to set interest rates. Although these basic statistical models are general guides to default risk, our model calibrates and quantifies how those variables and others impact loan defaults across loans of all types. For example, although low FICO scores are predictive of higher risk, how predictive they are depends on other factors such as the type of loan (mortgages, HELOCs, business loans, etc.), term, payment frequency, and so forth. For example, in one model trained using our proprietary algorithm on loan default data from one of our clients, the model discovered that for small business loans, payment frequency was actually more predictive of loan default than credit score. In other words, even borrowers with high credit scores would default on small business loans with monthly payment terms at a rate that wasn’t that different from borrowers with low scores. When payments were made semi-annually, however, credit scores became a much more predictive factor of loan default risk. 

By digging deep into the complex relationships between different loan risk factors, our algorithm can produce impressive results. Performance tests on datasets have shown this algorithm to be highly precise, with one model trained on one of our client’s data the ability to predict 30% of loan defaults in a benchmark dataset with near perfect accuracy (0.99 precision at 0.30 recall) and could return consistently reliable results at higher levels of recall. The loan default risk models trained with our proprietary algorithm provide extraordinary business value to our clients in the financial services industry by flagging risky loans and providing a deeper understanding of risk factors involved with loan applications beyond basic ratings provided by an applicant’s FICO score.

With daily insights powered by the Aunalytics cloud-native data platform, industry intelligence, and smart features that enable a variety of analytics solutions for fast, easy access to credible data, financial services users can find the answers to such questions as:

  • Who are my current customers that have a loan and not a deposit account?
  • Who has a mortgage or wealth account with one of my competitors?
  • Which customers with a credit score above 700 are most likely to buy a HELOC?
  • Which loans were modified from the previous day?
  • Who are my current members with a HELOC that are utilizing less than 25% of their line of credit?

“As customer interactions become increasingly digital, mid-market banks and credit unions are challenged with maintaining the competitive advantage that local, personalized, white-glove service has traditionally afforded them,” said Rich Carlton, President, Aunalytics. “At the same time, they struggle to achieve the valuable business insights that untapped data could provide to improve their operations. Daybreak for Financial Services mines transactional bank data every day to deliver timely insights that enable mid-market banks to more efficiently target and deliver new services and solutions for their customers so they are better positioned to compete with national banks.
