  • Patent number: 11604825
    Abstract: A system is provided to predict requested playbacks of media files by users from a media storage system. The system includes a processor and a computer readable medium operably coupled thereto, to perform predictive playback operations which include accessing an AI model and a media file comprising metadata associated with generating the media file, generating a predictive score for a playback of the media file based on the AI model and the metadata, comparing the predictive score to a threshold required to transcode the media file into a playback format prior to the playback, predicting the playback based on the comparing, determining a predicted playback time of the media file based on the metadata for the media file, and transcoding the media file into the playback format prior to the predicted playback time.

  • Patent number: 11605373
    Abstract: A text search query including one or more words may be received. An ASR index created for an audio recording may be searched over using the query to produce ASR search results including words, each word associated with a confidence score. For each of the words in the ASR search results associated with a confidence score below a threshold (and in some cases having one or more preceding words in the ASR index and one or more subsequent words in the ASR index), a phonetic representation of the audio recording may be searched for the word having the confidence score below the threshold, where it occurs in the audio recording, possibly after the one or more preceding words and in the audio recording before the one or more subsequent words, to produce phonetic search results. Search results may be returned include ASR and phonetic results.

  • Publication number: 20230062929
    Abstract: A system and method for generating response data statistics by for example, receiving response data items, each including an associated score measuring the likelihood of a user to recommend. For each data item, if the associated score is null a historical score may be used as the associated score. The response data item may then be categorized into groups based on the associated scores and a ratio of the number of response data items in a group to the total number of response data items may be calculated. Generated data may be displayed for each group.

  • Publication number: 20230042350
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented system and method of performing quality assurance. The method may include receiving, by a processor, a quality plan comprising an expected number of evaluation tasks, wherein each evaluation task is distributed to an evaluator of a plurality of evaluators to be completed. For each evaluator, the processor computes an expected number of evaluation tasks to be completed per period, wherein the expected number of evaluation tasks completed per period is based on the expected number of evaluation tasks averaged over a set time period. The processor receives, for each evaluator, a number of actual evaluation tasks completed during the set time period and reassigns one or more evaluation tasks from the evaluator if the actual evaluation tasks completed during the set time period for said evaluator does not meet a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11575790
    Abstract: A computerized-method using a cloud-based computing environment for improving client service, in a contact center is provided herein. The computerized-method includes: retrieving a context of a query and a time-limit from a CTI event and attempting to retrieve data to evaluate average resolution time for the received context. When the data is found, comparing the evaluated average resolution time with the received time-limit and when the received time-limit is below the evaluated average resolution time, sending a delay notice and providing the client a menu of options for querying through other channels. When the data is not found, or when the received time-limit is above the evaluated average resolution time, presenting on an agent dashboard, the time-limit of the client and accordingly updating parameters in the agent dashboard during the inbound call, thus, improving client service, by considering the time-limit of the client before the agent addresses a query.

  • Publication number: 20230014318
    Abstract: Securely sharing proof of knowledge of information without revealing the information, for example to allow an institution to prove it has knowledge regarding an alert. Code or software may be generated (at a first computer system which takes as input one or more details regarding an entity and returns a value based on a match to one or more actual details regarding the entity. A name may be generated for the code based on information describing the entity, and the code may be published to a blockchain, along with at least one key corresponding to the code. For each name an entry may be creating in an index, converting the name to a blockchain address. A proof based on the code may be generated at a second computer system, which, if verified, results in the first institution and the second institution sharing information regarding the entity.
