What Machine Learning Taught Us about Our Branches
These days, if you want to make tough branch decisions, use a good college student instead of an experienced banker. We will come back to the college student but, in this post, we pitted experienced bankers against the latest branch models against the latest machine learning applications to see which method was more accurate at predicting branch performance. The answers will not only surprise you but what we learned along the way will help improve your thinking about branching, machine learning and the new paradigm of quantitative banking.
