Industrial Engineering is a field of engineering that develops and applies methods and techniques to design, implement, develop and improve systems comprising of humans, materials, machines, energy and funding. Our department was founded in 1998, and since then, has graduated hundreds of individuals who may compete nationally and internationally into professional life. Accredited by MÜDEK in 2014, our student-centered education continues. In addition to acquiring the knowledge necessary for every Industrial engineer, our students are able to gain professional experience in their desired fields of expertise with a wide array of elective courses, such as E-commerce and ERP, Reliability, Tabulation, or Industrial Engineering Applications in the Energy Sector. With dissertation projects fictionalized on solving real problems at real companies, our students gain experience in the sector, and a wide network of contacts. Our education is supported with ERASMUS programs. With the scientific studies of our competent academic staff published in internationally-renowned magazines, our department ranks with the bests among other universities. IESC, one of the most active student networks at our university, continues to organize extensive, and productive events every year.

Abstract

In this study, we have employed a hybrid machine learning algorithm to predict customer credit card churn. The proposed model is Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Bayesian Optimization (BO). BO is used to optimize the hyper-parameters of the SVM. Four different kernels are utilized. The hyper-parameters of the utilized kernels are calculated by the BO. The prediction power of the proposed models are compared by four different evaluation metrics. Used metrics are accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. According to each metrics linear kernel has the highest performance. It has accuracy of %91. The worst performance achieved by sigmoid kernel which has accuracy of %84.
