Adding PageList properties to ADM as predictor

Hello,

We have a use case to include PageList as ADM Predictor.

from a quick check, we determined that it is not supported. any feedback on possible custom solution?

One possible approach, we are thinking is use custom java function to extract values from the page list and store it in parameter. use that parameter as predictor. I like to solicit efficient way of achieving this use case. Thanks, in advance.

Hi @oumera64,

only scalar properties can be used as a predictor in the ADM model (in fact all the models used in Pega or outside Pega).

Here’s how you can approach it to transform the PageList predictors to scalar values.

  1. Feature Engineering:

    • Create a feature (predictor) that represents the list.
      • For instance, if you have a list of product ratings, you could compute the average rating or the total count of ratings as a single feature.
      • Similarly, if you have a list of transaction amounts, you might calculate the sum or average of those amounts.

  2. Flatten Nested Lists:

    • If your list contains nested structures (e.g., a list of lists), consider flattening it.
      • For instance, if you have a list of orders, each containing multiple line items, flatten it to a single list of line items.

  3. Encoding Categorical Lists:

    • If your list contains categorical data (e.g., product categories), encode it appropriately.
    • You can use techniques like one-hot or label encoding to represent categorical values numerically.

Please do not forget to preprocess your data and handle missing values appropriately. Additionally, test the performance of your model with and without the list-based predictors to assess their impact.

If you still need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

@Nanjundan Chinnasamy ,Thanks for your insight. We will explore approach 1 and see if that works.

Yes @oumera64,

you may need to pre-process/pre-aggregate the data to the scalar level before using it as a predictor of Pega’s Predictive and Adaptive models.
