  • Patent number: 11531998
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating conversational survey questions. The systems and methods analyze a received survey question response to identify characteristics of a survey response, including topics and other response features. For example, the systems can determine a sentiment associated with a given product or service that a respondent expresses within a response. Based on the determined sentiment, and further based on a set of logic rules received from a survey administrator, the systems and methods generate provide conversational follow-up questions associated with the identified product or service.

  • Patent number: 11301877
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to administration of an electronic survey to collect perception ratings for an event. For example, an electronic survey system provides a perception survey question to a respondent client device for an event (e.g., a digital media event or a live user experience). As a user associated with the respondent client device experiences the event, the user indicates a perception rating over time for the event by interacting with a graphical input element corresponding to the perception survey question. The survey system collects perception data points indicating the perception rating of the user and associates information about the user with the perception data points. The survey system can generate response data for the perception survey question based on the perception data points. The survey system can also generate a perception data report using the user profile information.

  • Patent number: 11017416
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, systems and methods allow a user to easily create an electronic survey by simply including a survey system as a party in a communication (e.g., an email address associated with a survey system being included in a meeting invite). In addition, the systems and methods provide for distributing the created electronic survey to a user based on the user being included as a party within the communication (e.g., an email address associated with the user being included in the meeting invite). Accordingly, the systems and methods create an electronic survey, and distribute the electronic survey to parties of a communication based on a user including a survey system as a party of the communication.

  • Publication number: 20210035132
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a response prediction system that intelligently optimizes the quality of responses to a survey by predicting response quality and generating suggested changes (e.g., improving question ordering, question phrasing, question type, etc.). For example, in one or more embodiments, the response prediction system predicts response quality based on extracted survey characteristics. The response prediction system uses the predicted response quality to generate suggested changes before publishing the survey. Additionally, the response prediction system collects feedback by analyzing responses after the survey has been published to update suggested changes specific to the survey.
