  • Publication number: 20220027204
    Abstract: Low-level nodes (LLNs) that are communicatively connected to one another each have sensing capability and processing capability. High-level nodes (HLNs) that are communicatively connected to one another and to the LLNs each have processing capability more powerful than the processing capability of each LLN. The LLNs and the HLNs perform processing based on sensing events captured by the LLNs. The processing is performed by the LLNs and the HLNs to minimize data communication among the LLNs and the HLNs, and to provide for software-defined sensing.

The method may further include converting, using a sentence embedding model, the tokens to a question vector, assigning the question vector to a question cluster, assigning, by applying a user clustering model to the question cluster and the structured contextual features, the user to a user cluster, and assigning, using a trained machine learning model, a channel to the user cluster. The channel may be used to communicate with a customer service agent for a management application. The trained machine learning model may assign, using metrics, a channel to each user cluster. The method may further include recommending, based on assigning the channel to the user cluster, the channel to the user for the question.
