Reply to comment by teenaxta in [P] Building a LSTM based model for binary classification by Thanos_nap

Oh yes customer ID will be dropped that was just for identification. As for why we need LSTM..that's because they just want it with LSTM because LSTM is the "new" thing here. That's all..i have explained them it's not really needed but obviously top management knows better.

Lol, LSTM for the sake of it. If there is no temporal component, then it's just the wrong model. Can you tell them that Transformers are the "new" LSTMs? Transformers handle sets (instead of sequences), so they would make a lot of sense in your application..

There is a temporaral component. These customer actions are week wise. So the data is Customer ID, week number, action, converted yes or no.

I can get this in the 3d shape with time step as week, features = actions. But I'm confused what would be the batch here.

But yes, i agree with you this is not the best method for my use case!

The batch dimensions are the different customers. You have N costumers, across T weeks and possible actions. This should give you a sparse tensor of dimensions [N,T,K] that you can easily plug into any LSTM....
