Resumo


A retenção de usuários é uma preocupação crescente entre os provedores de acesso à Internet residencial. Nesse contexto, este trabalho explora dados internos de uma multinacional de telecomunicações e da Anatel para treinamento de modelos de aprendizado de máquina visando a previsão de evasão de seus clientes. Uma análise inicial mostra o desempenho desses modelos, quem alcançaram resultados de acurácia próxima aos 80%, e precisão e recall na faixa dos 70%. Também são identificadas as características mais influentes na decisão de saída de um cliente, viabilizando a implementação da abordagem proposta em estratégias para mitigação do problema de evasão.
