  • Patent number: 11954140
    Abstract: By formulizing a specific company's internal knowledge and terminology, the ontology programming accounts for linguistic meaning to surface relevant and important content for analysis. The ontology is built on the premise that meaningful terms are detected in the corpus and then classified according to specific semantic concepts, or entities. Once the main terms are defined, direct relations or linkages can be formed between these terms and their associated entities. Then, the relations are grouped into themes, which are groups or abstracts that contain synonymous relations. The disclosed ontology programming adapts to the language used in a specific domain, including linguistic patterns and properties, such as word order, relationships between terms, and syntactical variations. The ontology programming automatically trains itself to understand the domain or environment of the communication data by processing and analyzing a defined corpus of communication data.

  • Patent number: 11900943
    Abstract: A method of zoning a transcription of audio data includes separating the transcription of audio data into a plurality of utterances. A that each word in an utterances is a meaning unit boundary is calculated. The utterance is split into two new utterances at a work with a maximum calculated probability. At least one of the two new utterances that is shorter than a maximum utterance threshold is identified as a meaning unit.

  • Patent number: 11841890
    Abstract: A faster and more streamlined system for providing summary and analysis of large amounts of communication data is described. System and methods are disclosed that employ an ontology to automatically summarize communication data and present the summary to the user in a form that does not require the user to listen to the communication data. In one embodiment, the summary is presented as written snippets, or short fragments, of relevant communication data that capture the meaning of the data relating to a search performed by the user. Such snippets may be based on theme and meaning unit identification.

  • Patent number: 11545137
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated transcription model adaptation includes obtaining audio data from a plurality of audio files. The audio data is transcribed to produce at least one audio file transcription which represents a plurality of transcription alternatives for each audio file. Speech analytics are applied to each audio file transcription. A best transcription is selected from the plurality of transcription alternatives for each audio file. Statistics from the selected best transcription are calculated. An adapted model is created from the calculated statistics.

  • Publication number: 20210398149
    Abstract: Improved systems and method as disclosed herein, provide automated analysis tools for more refined trend analysis and evaluation of identified trends. Communication data may be recognized as either audio or textual data which may be processed and analyzed in real-time (as in the case of streaming audio data) or processed at a time apart from the acquisition of the communication data. If the communication data is audio data, then the audio data, may undergo a transcription, which may employ the exemplary technique of large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) or other known speech-to-text algorithms or techniques. Alternatively, the communication data may already be in the form of a transcription or the communication data may have originated as textual data, exemplarily the communication data is from an internet web chat, email, text message, or social media.

  • Patent number: 10255346
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for developing ontologies and analyzing communication data are provided herein. In an example implementation, the method includes: identifying terms in in a set of communication data; identifying a list of possible relations of the identified terms; scoring the possible relations according to a set of predefined merits; ranking the possible relations into a list of possible relations in descending order according to their score; and tagging relations in the set of communication data. The relations may be tagged by identifying the possible relations in the communication data in order corresponding with the list of possible relations. The possible relations that have lower rankings that conflict with higher ranking relations are not tagged. The conflicts may be determined by a predefined set of conflict criteria.
