  • Publication number: 20250006218
    Abstract: A computerized system and method may process and predict stress levels for audio data using a machine learning based framework. A computerized system including a processor and a memory may calculate a buffer length based on a plurality of audio attributes (e.g., of a given audio input or data item), extract an audio buffer from an audio data item based on the calculated length, and predict, using a machine learning model, a stress level for the audio buffer or data item. Some embodiments of the invention may include extracting a buffer of a length determined dynamically for different audio inputs, e.g., to ensure coherency between audio attributes or features extracted from different audio inputs having different audio characteristics. In some embodiments, audio features which may be considered by the model may include, e.g., a plurality of gradients between mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients computed for relevant audio buffers or inputs.

  • Patent number: 12175404
    Abstract: Coaching systems and methods, and non-transitory computer readable media, include analyzing an agent's interactions to identify knowledge gaps and specific topics where an agent has difficulties. An algorithm uses bootstrap sampling to verify that an agent's scores are significantly different from other agents' scores. The algorithm further uses a mutual information score to find topics that are associated with interactions having a high knowledge gap score.

  • Patent number: 12124608
    Abstract: A computerized-method for sensitive data redaction from screenshots, is provided herein. The computerized-method includes retrieving records of a sequence of screenshots from a database. Then, grouping the sequence-of-screenshots by one feature of one or more features to yield one or more groups. Each group includes screenshots having one common feature. Then, calculating a score for each pixel across all similar screenshots in each group. For each group of screenshots, blackening pixels in all screenshots having a score above a preconfigured threshold to yield data redacted screenshots. The score of each pixel above the preconfigured threshold indicates a high variance between screenshots in the group and a presence of sensitive data therein and then storing the data-redacted screenshots in a screenshots-database.

  • Patent number: 12124516
    Abstract: A system to create new automation routines includes a processor to: Over time, store a group of actions taken by a group of agents within applications. From the stored group of actions, identify a repeating pattern of actions in a subset of the applications, and construct a binary vector, each position within the binary vector storing a 1 for an occurrence of any action within any application of the subset, and a 0 otherwise. From the binary vector and the repeating pattern, extract a sentence including at least one action within at least one application. Based on the repeating pattern, an application type, or a business goal, create a constraint. If the sentence meets the constraint, accept the sentence and add it to a pool of accepted sentences. From the pool of accepted sentences, identify a pattern of occurrences of the accepted sentence, and create a new automation routine.

  • Patent number: 12032911
    Abstract: A system and method for training and using a text embedding model may include creating structured phrases from an input text; creating turn input samples from the input text, each turn input sample based on only or consisting of input from a single turn within the text and being formed by removing structure from structured phrases; and training an embedding model using the structured phrases and turn input samples. Call input samples may be created based on input from more than one turn within the text. At each level of resolution (e.g. phrase, speaker, call), a different level of resolution may be used to create input samples. At inference an embedding may be based on a weighted combination of the sub-terms within an input phrase, each weight being based on an inverse document frequency measure for the sub-term associated with the weight.
