    摘要: A system and method are presented for predicting contact center behavior. In one embodiment, closed form simulation modeling may be used to simulate behavior from input distributions. Models may be created through staging and analysis of historical Automatic Call Distribution data. Service level, average speed of answer, abandon rate, and other data may be predicted to generate forecasts and analysis of contact center behavior. Examples of behavior may include staffing levels, workload, and the Key Performance Index of metrics such as service level percentage, average speed of answer, and abandonment rate percentage.

    摘要: A method is presented for forming the excitation signal for a glottal pulse model based parametric speech synthesis system. In one embodiment, fundamental frequency values are used to form the excitation signal. The excitation is modeled using a voice source pulse selected from a database of a given speaker. The voice source signal is segmented into glottal segments, which are used in vector representation to identify the glottal pulse used for formation of the excitation signal. Use of a novel distance metric and preserving the original signals extracted from the speakers voice samples helps capture low frequency information of the excitation signal. In addition, segment edge artifacts are removed by applying a unique segment joining method to improve the quality of synthetic speech while creating a true representation of the voice quality of a speaker.

    摘要: A system and method are presented for communication routing. Communications may be routed into a queue based on criteria. A communication may be assigned to a distribution ring and a determination may be made as to whether there is an availability of resources to handle the communication. A communication may be re-routed if it cannot be handled to a new group. Re-routing may be based on criteria such as time delay, non-time based criteria such as skills, and environmental criteria, to name a few. Re-routing may continue until a communication is handled. The routing design may resemble concentric circles where the center represents the most desirable pool of handlers and each incremental ring represents the iterative expansion sets of agents.

    摘要: A system and method are presented for context based knowledge retrieval. In one embodiment, such retrieval pertains to pattern recognition for data related to interactions between users, configuration and organization of systems data in an enterprise, and the quality of calculations of communication interactions. In one embodiment, a communication may be analyzed and a user interface created of potential sources of information related to the communication. This information may be from an internal source, such as a knowledge base, or an external source, such as an internet connected information source, for example. The user interface may comprise entities with associated links and actions, which may be configured based on a user's preference.

    摘要: A system and method are presented for acoustic data selection of a particular quality for training the parameters of an acoustic model, such as a Hidden Markov Model and Gaussian Mixture Model, for example, in automatic speech recognition systems in the speech analytics field. A raw acoustic model may be trained using a given speech corpus and maximum likelihood criteria. A series of operations are performed, such as a forced Viterbi-alignment, calculations of likelihood scores, and phoneme recognition, for example, to form a subset corpus of training data. During the process, audio files of a quality that does not meet a criterion, such as poor quality audio files, may be automatically rejected from the corpus. The subset may then be used to train a new acoustic model.

    摘要: A method and system for increasing call yield and the productivity of agents in an environment such as a contact or call center, for example, is described. Attributes may be used to classify calls and contact information. A system may learn from collected data. Calculations may be performed to aid in forecasting such as probabilities, call yield, and expected call handle time. Such calculations may be used to determine the best time to call a contact to achieve a desired result.
