Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for facilitating a custom ring in connection with a call. A ring tone delivery system may include an interface operable to receive a calling signal that indicates a request to place a call from a calling party to a communication device of a called party. The system may also include a network node communicatively coupled to the interface. The network node may be operable to determine whether the calling party is able to use a calling party selected ring tone. The network node may also be operable to determine whether the communication device will accept the calling party selected ring tone. The network node sends the calling party selected ring tone to the communication device when the calling party is able to use the calling party selected ring tone and when the communication device will accept the calling party selected ring tone.

Abstract: A system and method disclosed for using and updating a database of template responses for a live agent in response to user communications. The method includes computing an average string distance between each response from a live agent and a template, use to generate the response, modifying the computed average string distance based on a customer satisfaction score associated with each response and selecting a response that minimizes the computed average string distance and maximizes customer satisfaction. Upon receiving a further communication on a certain issue, the system presents a prototype response that has been added to the template database to the live agent for use in generating a response to the further communication that reduces handling time and increases customer satisfaction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating personalized user models. The method includes receiving automatic speech recognition (ASR) output of speech interactions with a user, receiving an ASR transcription error model characterizing how ASR transcription errors are made, generating guesses of a true transcription and a user model via an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm based on the error model and the respective ASR output where the guesses will converge to a personalized user model which maximizes the likelihood of the ASR output. The ASR output can be unlabeled. The method can include casting speech interactions as a dynamic Bayesian network with four variables: (s), (u), (r), (m), and encoding relationships between (s), (u), (r), (m) as conditional probability tables. At each dialog turn (r) and (m) are known and (s) and (u) are hidden.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer-readable media for sampling network traffic. The method includes receiving a plurality of flow records, calculating a hash for each flow record based on one or more invariant part of a respective flow, generating a quasi-random number from the calculated hash for each respective flow record, and sampling flow records having a quasi-random number below a probability P. Invariant parts of flow records include destination IP address, source IP address, TCP/UDP port numbers, TCP flags, and network protocol. A plurality of routers can uniformly calculate hashes for flow records. Each router in a plurality of routers can generate a same quasi-random number for each respective flow record and uses different values for probability P. The probability P can depend on a flow size. The method can divide the quasi-random number by a maximum possible hash value.
