  • Patent number: 11556572
    Abstract: A computer based system and method for assigning queries to topics and/or visualizing or analyzing query coverage may include, using a computer processor, searching, using a set of queries, over a set of text documents, to produce for each query a set of search results for the query. Each search result may include a subset of text from a text document of the set of text documents. For each query, a query vector may be calculated based on the set of search results for the query, and for each of a set of topics describing the set of text documents, a topic vector may be calculated. A report or visualization may be generated including the set of queries and the set of topics using the topic vectors and the query vectors.

  • Patent number: 11551243
    Abstract: A method and system for analyzing interactions (for example between a person and an organization) may include for a number of series of interactions (which may be termed journeys), each interaction represented by a channel and a reason, iterating over the series of interactions by selecting initial information including an interaction subset including one or more interactions, and if there is a set of interaction series among the series of interactions meeting certain conditions, adding an interaction to the interaction subset and determining in a recursive fashion if for the interaction subset, there is a subset among the set of interaction series meeting the conditions which also meet the conditions. Conditions may include a threshold average rating for the set of interaction series, and a threshold number of interaction series in which the interaction subset is found.

  • Publication number: 20230004586
    Abstract: A system and method may analyze computer actions on a computer desktop system. Using a data gathering process, a low-level user action information item, describing input by a user (e.g. to the computer desktop system), may be received or gathered. The low-level user action information item may include an input type description and screen window information. Based on a series of low-level user action information items, a process a computer is engaging in with the user may be estimated or determined. The best or most appropriate next low-level user action may be displayed or suggested to the user, e.g. on a computer desktop system to a user.

  • Patent number: 11545159
    Abstract: A digital audio quality monitoring device uses a deep neural network (DNN) to provide accurate estimates of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from a limited set of features extracted from incoming audio. Some embodiments improve the SNR estimate accuracy by selecting a DNN model from a plurality of available models based on a codec used to compress/decompress the incoming audio. Each model has been trained on audio compressed/decompressed by a codec associated with the model, and the monitoring device selects the model associated with the codec used to compress/decompress the incoming audio. Other embodiments are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11514439
    Abstract: Securely sharing proof of knowledge of information without revealing the information, for example to allow an institution to prove it has knowledge regarding an alert. Code or software may be generated (at a first computer system) which takes as input one or more details regarding an entity and returns a value based on a match to one or more actual details regarding the entity. A name may be generated for the code based on information describing the entity, and the code may be published to a blockchain, along with at least one key corresponding to the code. For each name an entry may be creating in an index, converting the name to a blockchain address. A proof based on the code may be generated at a second computer system, which, if verified, results in the first institution and the second institution sharing information regarding the entity.

  • Publication number: 20220374924
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing customer journeys are implemented using one or more processors in a computing system. Each journey may comprise a succession of interactions at interaction points such as telephone conversations, responses to an interactive voice response “IVR” system and viewing a web page. Customer journey scores are determined for customers at one or more interaction points along the customer journey and the customer journey score is used to determine whether and when an intervention should take place. Models for determining customer journey scores may be created for a set of customers based on one or both of subjective and objective data relating to a subset of the set of customers that have made some or part of the journey, e.g. customers that have responded to polls. An intervention may take place during the journey or after completion of the journey.
