Challenge	PagesJaunes.fr, the French equivalent of the YellowPages, is a leader in local advertising and information on web, mobile, and print, generating hundreds of millions of queries each year.

Solution	With Data Science Studio (DSS), PagesJaunes built an app that scores customer satisfaction. The app gathers search engine data and analyses them to isolate unsuccessful queries. An algorithm was created to compute a score for every query and is then used to predict which queries will provide unsatisfactory results for users. The algorithm is fed with qualified and enriched usage data. The technology eventually targets the engine’s failures enabling category managers to focus their operations on those failures. The solution also involved training more than ten PagesJaunes’ collaborators in Big Data technologies such as Hadoop, machine learning, and statistics with DSS. Read More Log in to view content
