Machine learning for pain point identification based on outside-in analysis of data

  • SAP America Inc.

Abstract

In an example embodiment, machine learning is utilized to automatically identify pain points of an entity. More particularly, a random forest search algorithm receives inputs from a number of different outside-in data engines. These inputs are segregated in terms of key performance indexes (KPIs), which is then fed to a random forest decision tree. The random forest search algorithm calculates a p-value for each KPI. This p-value may then be used to identify the most relevant KPIs (such as by ranking the KPIs by their respective p-values). Rules are utilized not to identify the pain points themselves, but instead to define sorting preferences (refine the ranking). Based on a combination of the p-values and the evaluation of the rules, the top-N pain points may be identified.

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized traditional banking and financial services by leveraging advanced data analytics and machine learning algorithms. This paper explores how AI disrupts conventional banking paradigms, offering institutions a competitive edge through enhanced customer experiences, risk management, and operational efficiency. By harnessing vast amounts of data, AI algorithms can predict customer behavior, personalize services, and detect fraudulent activities in real-time. Moreover, machine learning models optimize lending decisions, streamline back-office operations, and automate routine tasks, reducing costs and improving scalability. However, AI implementation comes with challenges such as data privacy concerns, algorithmic biases, and regulatory compliance. Successful integration requires a strategic approach encompassing talent acquisition, infrastructure development, and stakeholder collaboration. Overall, AI represents a transformative force in the financial sector, reshaping business models and redefining industry standards. Organizations that embrace AI technologies stand to gain a sustainable competitive advantage in the evolving landscape of banking and financial services.
... Reforms that impose higher capital and liquidity requirements may enhance banks' resilience to financial shocks, thereby improving profitability in the long run. However, overly stringent regulations may also impose significant compliance costs on banks, which can offset the benefits of improved stability and weigh on profitability [13], [14]. ...

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, regulatory reforms have significantly reshaped the banking landscape, aiming to enhance financial stability and mitigate systemic risks. This study investigates the implications of these reforms on bank profitability across global banking institutions. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset spanning the post-crisis era, our analysis reveals nuanced insights into the relationship between regulatory changes and bank profitability metrics. We employ a combination of quantitative methodologies, including regression analysis and comparative assessments, to discern the effects of regulatory measures on key profitability indicators such as return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). Our findings suggest a complex interplay between regulatory reforms and bank profitability, highlighting both positive and negative impacts across different institutional contexts. Furthermore, we identify specific regulatory factors that significantly influence profitability outcomes, offering valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and banking practitioners navigating the evolving regulatory landscape. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics between regulatory interventions and financial performance in the post-crisis era, informing strategic decision-making and fostering stability in the global banking sector.
