Predicting Application Submission with a Recurrent Neural Network

At Blend, we’re building tools to power a frictionless, more accessible consumer lending ecosystem. We want to ensure everyone who wants a loan (and qualifies for one) can apply easily. Applying for a mortgage is a complicated and lengthy process that requires close collaboration between borrowers and loan officers. It is critical for lenders to provide timely help to borrowers, but it’s difficult to know when to step in. One project we worked on over the past few sprints aimed to tackle that ambiguity.
