Interpretation of net promoter score attributes using explainable AI

Published: 11 July 2022 Publication History

Abstract

Net promoter score (NPS) is a market research metric that measures customer’s satisfaction and its analysis is combined with various parameters/drivers. The paper addresses a core problem in customer experience analytics which is related with the deeper understanding of the drivers of indices in NPS and defines the key drivers that are of utmost importance in describing the customer’s experience. To this end, state of the art Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques are applied so as to reveal the role of certain customer experience features and support companies in their decision making process.
