Publication number: 20180241881Abstract: A curator captures input data corresponding to service tasks from an external source. Further, a browser extension collects intermediate service delivery data for the service tasks from the external source. Subsequently, a learner stores the input data and the intermediate service delivery data as training data. Then, a receiver receives a service request from a client. The service request is indicative of a service task to be performed and information associated with the service task. Further, an advisor processes the service request to generate an intermediate service response. Thereafter, the advisor determines a confidence level associated with the intermediate service response and ascertains whether the confidence level associated with service response is below pre-determined threshold level. If the confidence level is below a pre-determined threshold level, the advisor automatically generates a final service response corresponding to service request based on training data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Applicant: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Chung-Sheng LI, Guanglei Xiong, Emmanuel Munguia Tapia, Kyle P.
