Uplift Modeling
Predictive modeling that estimates how much a treatment like an offer or ad changes each customer's behavior, so marketers target persuadable people.

Short answer
Uplift modeling is predictive modeling that estimates how much a treatment, such as an offer or ad, changes each customer's behavior compared with no treatment. Instead of targeting people likely to buy anyway, marketers focus on persuadable customers whose behavior actually changes, reducing wasted spend and avoiding those who react negatively.
