    a) Customer classification based on chargeback risk for a mid-provider
    • Data preprocessing and customer geolocalization to analyze regional behaviors.
    • Encoding categorical features (devices, browsers, currencies) using one-hot and frequency encoding.
    • Development of a classification algorithm based on SVM and XGBoost to estimate chargeback probability.
    Result: Significant reduction in chargeback costs through precise customer allocation based on risk score.

    b) Reinforcement learning-based A/B testing
    • Definition of the reward function to optimize feature tests.
    • Use of a "classic" reinforcement learning algorithm based on UCB, accelerated by a neural network to approximate the reward function.
    Result: Improvement of A/B tests and optimization of tested features.
