Abstract:
A method for configuring a topic-specific chatbot comprising: clustering a plurality of transcripts of interactions between customers and agents of a contact center of an enterprise to generate a plurality of clusters of interactions, each cluster of interactions corresponding to a topic, each of the interactions including agent phrases and customer phrases; for each cluster of the plurality of clusters of interactions: extracting a topic-specific dialogue tree for the cluster; pruning the topic-specific dialogue tree to generate a deterministic dialogue tree; and configuring a topic-specific chatbot in accordance with the deterministic dialogue tree; and outputting the one or more topic-specific chatbots, each of the topic-specific chatbots being configured to generate, automatically, responses to messages regarding the topic of the topic-specific chatbot from a customer in an interaction between the customer and the enterprise.
Abstract:
A method for tracking known topics in a plurality of interactions includes: extracting, by a processor, a plurality of fragments from the plurality of interactions; initializing, by the processor, a collection of tracked topics to an empty collection; computing, by the processor, a similarity between each fragment of the fragments and each of the known topics; and adding, by the processor, a known topic of the known topics to the tracked topics in response to the similarity between a fragment and the known topic exceeding a threshold value.
Abstract:
A method for detecting and categorizing topics in a plurality of interactions includes: extracting, by a processor, a plurality of fragments from the plurality of interactions; filtering, by the processor, the plurality of fragments to generate a filtered plurality of fragments; clustering, by the processor, the filtered fragments into a plurality of base clusters; and clustering, by the processor, the plurality of base clusters into a plurality of hyper clusters.
Abstract:
A method for identifying concepts in a plurality of interactions includes: filtering, on a processor, the interactions based on intervals; creating, on the processor, a plurality of sentences from the filtered interactions; computing, on the processor, a saliency of each the sentences; pruning away, on the processor, sentences with low saliency for generating a set of informative sentences; clustering, on the processor, the sentences of the set of informative sentences for generating a plurality of sentence clusters, each of the clusters corresponding to a concept of the concepts; computing, on the processor, a saliency of each of the clusters; and naming, on the processor, each of the clusters.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program product for automatically performing sentiment analysis on texts, such as telephone call transcripts and electronic written communications. Disclosed techniques include, inter alia, lexicon training, handling of negations and shifters, pruning of lexicons, confidence calculation for token orientation, supervised customization, lexicon mixing, and adaptive segmentation.
Abstract:
A method includes: receiving, by a processor, an evaluation form including a plurality of evaluation questions; receiving, by the processor, an interaction to be evaluated by the evaluation form; selecting, by the processor, an evaluation question of the evaluation form, the evaluation question including a rule associated with one or more topics, each of the topics including one or more words or phrases; searching, by the processor, the interaction for the one or more topics of the rule in accordance with the presence of one or more words or phrases in the interaction to generate a search result; calculating, by the processor, an answer to the evaluation question in accordance with the rule and the search result; and outputting, by the processor, the calculated answer to the evaluation question of the evaluation form.
Abstract:
A method for configuring an automated, speech driven self-help system based on prior interactions between a plurality of customers and a plurality of agents includes: recognizing, by a processor, speech in the prior interactions between customers and agents to generate recognized text; detecting, by the processor, a plurality of phrases in the recognized text; clustering, by the processor, the plurality of phrases into a plurality of clusters; generating, by the processor, a plurality of grammars describing corresponding ones of the clusters; outputting, by the processor, the plurality of grammars; and invoking configuration of the automated self-help system based on the plurality of grammars.
Abstract:
A method including: receiving, on a computer system, a text search query, the query including one or more query words; generating, on the computer system, for each query word in the query, one or more anchor segments within a plurality of speech recognition processed audio files, the one or more anchor segments identifying possible locations containing the query word; post-processing, on the computer system, the one or more anchor segments, the post-processing including: expanding the one or more anchor segments; sorting the one or more anchor segments; and merging overlapping ones of the one or more anchor segments; and searching, on the computer system, the post-processed one or more anchor segments for instances of at least one of the one or more query words using a constrained grammar.
Abstract:
A method for predicting a speech recognition quality of a phrase comprising at least one word includes: receiving, on a computer system including a processor and memory storing instructions, the phrase; computing, on the computer system, a set of features comprising one or more features corresponding to the phrase; providing the phrase to a prediction model on the computer system and receiving a predicted recognition quality value based on the set of features; and returning the predicted recognition quality value.
Abstract:
A method comprising: receiving a first text corpus comprising punctuated and capitalized text; annotating words in said first text corpus with a set of labels indicating a punctuation and a capitalization of each word; at an initial training stage, training a machine learning model on a first training set comprising: (i) said annotated words in said first text corpus, and (ii) said labels; receiving a second text corpus representing conversational speech; annotating words in said second text corpus with said set of labels; at a re-training stage, re-training said machine learning model on a second training set comprising: (iii) said annotated words in said second text corpus, and (iv) said labels; and at an inference stage, applying said trained machine learning model to a target set of words representing conversational speech, to predict a punctuation and capitalization of each word in said target set.
