# Machine Learning Pipeline Documentation ## Overview This document describes the ML models and pipeline for the e-commerce analytics platform. ## Models ### 1. Customer Segmentation (K-Means) **Purpose:** Group customers into behavioral segments **Algorithm:** K-Means Clustering **Features:** - lifetime_orders - lifetime_revenue - avg_order_value - days_since_last_order - days_since_registration - orders_last_30_days - customer_quality_score **Output:** 5 customer segments - High Value Active - Medium Value Regular - Low Value Occasional - At Risk - New Customers **Performance:** Silhouette Score > 0.40 **Update Frequency:** Weekly **Table:** `gold.customer_segments` ### 2. Churn Prediction (Random Forest) **Purpose:** Predict which customers are likely to churn **Algorithm:** Random Forest Classifier **Target:** Churned = No orders in 90+ days **Features:** - All segmentation features - is_premium (encoded) - is_high_value (encoded) **Output:** Churn probability and risk level (Low/Medium/High) **Performance:** - ROC-AUC: > 0.80 - Precision: > 0.70 - Recall: > 0.65 **Update Frequency:** Daily **Table:** `gold.customer_churn_predictions` ### 3. Product Recommendations (Collaborative Filtering) **Purpose:** Recommend similar products **Algorithm:** Item-Item Collaborative Filtering **Similarity Metric:** Cosine Similarity **Input:** Customer purchase history **Output:** Top 5 similar products per product **Update Frequency:** Weekly **Table:** `gold.product_recommendations` ## MLflow Tracking ### Experiment Structure - **Experiment Name:** `/Users/your_email/ecommerce_ml` - **Tracked Metrics:** Model-specific performance metrics - **Logged Artifacts:** Trained models, scalers, visualizations ### Model Registry - **Production Models:** Deployed to production stage - **Staging Models:** Under evaluation - **Archived Models:** Previous versions ## Model Lifecycle ### 1. Development - Feature engineering in dbt/Databricks - Model training with MLflow tracking - Hyperparameter tuning - Performance evaluation ### 2. Validation - Test set evaluation - Business metric validation - Bias/fairness checks - Performance thresholds met ### 3. Deployment - Register model in MLflow - Transition to Production stage - Generate batch predictions - Save to Gold layer tables ### 4. Monitoring - Track prediction distribution - Monitor business metrics - Detect data drift - Retrain triggers ## Retraining Schedule ### Customer Segmentation - **Frequency:** Weekly (Sunday 2 AM) - **Trigger:** New customer data - **Validation:** Silhouette score comparison ### Churn Prediction - **Frequency:** Daily (2 AM) - **Trigger:** Daily refresh - **Validation:** ROC-AUC threshold ### Product Recommendations - **Frequency:** Weekly (Sunday 3 AM) - **Trigger:** New order data - **Validation:** Coverage metrics ## Model Serving ### Batch Predictions - Run after each data refresh - Save to Gold layer tables - Available for BI tools ### Future: Real-time Serving - API endpoint for real-time predictions - Model loaded in memory - Sub-second latency ## Usage Examples ### Get Customer Segment ```sql SELECT customer_id, segment_name FROM gold.customer_segments WHERE customer_id = 'CUST000123';

Get High-Risk Customers

Copy to clipboard
SELECT cm.customer_id, cm.full_name, cm.lifetime_revenue, cp.churn_probability, cp.churn_risk FROM gold.customer_metrics cm JOIN gold.customer_churn_predictions cp ON cm.customer_id = cp.customer_id WHERE cp.churn_risk = 'High' AND cm.lifetime_revenue > 1000 ORDER BY cp.churn_probability DESC;

Get Product Recommendations

Copy to clipboard
SELECT product_name, recommended_product_name, similarity_score FROM gold.product_recommendations WHERE product_id = 'PROD00123' ORDER BY rank;

Best Practices

  1. Track Everything - Use MLflow for all experiments
  2. Version Models - Register all production models
  3. Validate Before Deploy - Check performance thresholds
  4. Monitor Predictions - Track distribution shifts
  5. Retrain Regularly - Don't let models go stale
  6. Document Assumptions - Note feature engineering logic

2. **Create model card template:** Create `docs/model_card_template.md`: ```markdown # Model Card: [Model Name] ## Model Details - **Model Name:** - **Model Version:** - **Model Type:** - **Training Date:** - **Trained By:** ## Intended Use **Primary Uses:** - **Out-of-scope Uses:** - ## Training Data - **Dataset:** - **Size:** - **Date Range:** - **Features:** ## Performance Metrics - **Metric 1:** - **Metric 2:** ## Limitations - - ## Ethical Considerations - - ## Maintenance - **Retraining Frequency:** - **Monitoring:** - **Owner:**

Troubleshooting

Issue: MLflow experiments not showing up
Solution: Verify experiment name, check Databricks permissions

Issue: Model training taking too long
Solution: Increase cluster size, reduce training data size, simplify model

Issue: Churn predictions all one class
Solution: Check class balance, adjust class_weight parameter

Issue: Recommendations all same category
Solution: Ensure diverse purchase history, check similarity threshold

Issue: Cannot load model from registry
Solution: Verify model is registered, check version stage


Best Practices Applied

  1. Start Simple - K-Means before deep learning
  2. Track Everything - MLflow for reproducibility
  3. Validate Thoroughly - Multiple metrics per model
  4. Document Assumptions - Feature engineering logic
  5. Business Metrics - Not just model metrics
  6. Iterate Quickly - Deploy fast, improve later
  7. Monitor Continuously - Track prediction drift
