    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing assistance to users by integrating social computing system with conversational user interface. In some cases, a user interacting with a virtual assistant of a conversational user interface provides input that the virtual assistant is not able identify a matching intent. As a result, the virtual assistant can leverage the social computing system to generate a new question based on the user input and post the question to the social computing system. Users of the social computing system can provide an answer, which the virtual assistant provides to the user in the conversational user interface. The social computing system can also generate a new intent for the virtual assistant to increase efficiency of the virtual assistant.

    摘要: Disclosed methods and systems crowdsource quality assurance testing and error detection for user experience pages of a tax return preparation system, according to one embodiment. Testing and debugging combinations and sequences user experience pages can be time consuming and costly, and crowdsourcing error detection can reduce the length of time typically consumed in detecting all errors in a user experience flow, according to one embodiment. The methods and system include monitoring users' navigation behavior (e.g., system access data) within one or more user experience pages, using predictive models to detect when users are experiencing a potential issue, and providing issue resolution content to both help the users and characterize the potential issue, according to one embodiment. If the potential issue is an error, the methods and systems include requesting more information about the error, to facilitate resolving the error for current and subsequent users, according to one embodiment.

    摘要: User satisfaction with answers that may be provided through a question and answer based customer support system is predicted by pre-submission analysis of the attributes of the question itself before the answer is generated. Questions being entered into the question and answer based customer support system that are not likely to satisfy either an asking user submitting a question, or subsequent searching users accessing the resulting question and answer pair, are labeled improperly formatted questions, or low quality format questions. The question data representing improperly formatted questions is then either filtered out, avoided completely, or, proactively corrected by providing the user with a set of personalized question format transformation instructions to transform improperly formatted questions into a re-phrased/re-formatted properly formatted questions having a question format predicted to provide a significantly higher probability of user satisfaction with any answer eventually provided.

    摘要: Reduction in latency between question submissions and response submissions in a question and answer based customer support system is reduced by facilitating the use of mobile devices by customer support personnel to submit question responses. The answerability of a question from a mobile device is predicted by analyzing the attributes of the question itself before the answer is generated. Questions being entered into the question and answer based customer support system that are conveniently answerable from a mobile device are routed to a mobile question and answer queue that enables mobile device users to review and respond to the mobile device answerable questions. A question is determined to be answerable from a mobile device if a predicted answer to the question has a length that is within a predetermined threshold, so that customer support personnel are not burdened with generating long responses from mobile devices.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to processing support data to increase a self-support knowledge base. In some embodiments, assisted support data is received comprising a record of an interaction between a user and a support professional. In certain embodiments, a support data set is extracted from the assisted support data. In some embodiments, feedback related to the support data set is received. The feedback may include an indication that the support data set is ready to be included in the self-support knowledge base. In some embodiments, upon determining, based on the feedback, that the support data set is ready to be used for self-support, the support data set is added to the self-support knowledge base. The self-support knowledge base may be accessible by a plurality of users.

    摘要: Before routing a question submitted to a question and answer based customer support system to support resources, and before any specific answer data is generated, the submitted question data is analyzed to predict asking user engagement with the question and answer based customer support system after the asking user's question is submitted. In this way, the question itself is analyzed and questions determined to be low engagement probability questions submitted by asking users that have a low probability of further engagement with the question and answer based customer support system are provided to the support resources on a low priority basis and questions determined to be high engagement probability questions submitted by asking users that have a high probability of further engagement with the question and answer based customer support system are provided to the support resources on a high priority basis.
