Abstract: In this paper, in order to predict a customer churn in the telecommunication sector, we have analysed several published articles that had used machine learning (ML) techniques. Significant predictive performance had been seen by utilising deep learning techniques. However, we have seen a tremendous lack of empirically derived heuristic information where we had to influence the hyperparameters consequently. Here, we had demonstrated three experimental findings, where a Relu activation function was embedded and utilised successfully in the hidden layers of the deep network. We can also see that the output layer had the service ability of a sigmoid function, in which we had seen a significant performance of the neural network model and obviously it was improved. Furthermore, we had also seen that the model's performance was noticed to be even better, but it was only considered better though when the batch size in the model was taken less than the test dataset’s size, respectively. In terms of accuracy, the RemsProp optimizer beat out the other algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent (SGD). RemsProp was seen even better from the Adadelta algorithm, the Adam algorithm, the AdaGrad algorithm, and AdaMax algorithm as well.
