Machine Learning within Sensory and Consumer Science applied to Consumer Segmentation

In this presentation, we demonstrate how to find and characterize segmentation in consumer liking scores through a series of machine learning approaches. First, we show how to find meaningful consumer segments and evaluate these segments for stability. Next, we demonstrate how to apply several common machine learning approaches to predict cluster segment based on consumer demographic, behavioral, and psychographic information. Finally, we show how model explainer tools can help experimenters look inside the black box to better understand the choices made by the prediction model. Throughout this presentation, we illustrate the use of these tools with a real-world example.
