  • Patent number: 12079576
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein may extract trending topics from phone call transcripts or any type of text data. The phone call transcripts may be collected for a time period and the time period may be divided into time spans. For each time span having more than a threshold number of phone call transcripts, n-grams from the phone call transcripts may be extracted. The extracted n-grams may be contextually clustered by converting the n-grams into their embedding vectors, reducing the dimensionality of the embedding vectors, and clustering similar reduced dimensionality embedding vectors. Normalized occurrences of one or more clusters may be generated. The recent mean of the number of occurrences of the normalized clusters may be compared with the historical mean and offset by historical standard deviation to generate a modified Z-score. N-grams corresponding to the clusters with high Z-scores may be identified as trending topics.

  • Patent number: 12079629
    Abstract: A method of score prediction uses hierarchical attention. Word features, positioning features, participant embedding features, and metadata are extracted from a transcript of a conversation. A word encoder vector is formed by multiplying weights of a word encoder layer to one or more word features. A sentence vector is formed by multiplying weights of a word attention layer to word encoder vectors. An utterance encoder vector is formed by multiplying weights of an utterance encoder layer to the sentence vector. A conversation vector is formed by multiplying weights of an utterance attention layer to utterance encoder vectors. The utterance encoder vector is combined with one or more positioning features and one or more participant embedding features. A predicted net promoter score is generated by multiplying weights of an output layer to the conversation vector combined with the metadata. The predicted net promoter score is presented in a list of conversations.

  • Publication number: 20240037342
    Abstract: A computing system identifies an incoming voice call from a user device to an agent device associated with the computing system. The computing system generates a transcription of the incoming voice call using one or more natural language processing techniques. The computing system extracts a problem description from the transcription. The problem description indicates a topic for the incoming voice call. A first machine learning model estimates a situation vector from the problem description. A second machine learning model identifies a pre-existing situation vector that closely matches the estimated situation vector. The computing system retrieves a situation description that corresponds to the identified pre-existing situation vector.

The method also includes determining, based on the skip word setting, at least one ngram in the vector to be skipped to form at least one skip word. The method also includes outputting an intermediate score for a set of ngrams that match the filter. The method also includes calculating a scalar number representing a semantic meaning of the at least one skip word. The method also includes generating based on the scalar number and the intermediate score, a final score for the set of ngrams. A computer action is performed using the final score.

  • Patent number: 11727058
    Abstract: A method involves receiving search queries, having search terms, submitted to at least one computerized search engine. For each query, a corresponding pairwise relation in the search queries is calculated. The corresponding pairwise relation is a corresponding probability of a potential edge relationship between at least two terms. Thus, potential edges are formed. A general graph of the terms is constructed by selecting edges from the potential edges. The general graph is nodes representing the terms used in the search queries. The general graph also is edges representing semantic relationships among the nodes. A hierarchical graph is constructed from the general graph by altering at least one of the edges among the nodes in the general graph to form the hierarchical graph.

  • Patent number: 11688393
    Abstract: A method including embedding, by a trained issue MLM (machine learning model), a new natural language issue statement into an issue vector. An inner product of the issue vector with an actions matrix is calculated. The actions matrix includes centroid-vectors calculated using a clustering method from a second output of a trained action MLM which embedded prior actions expressed in natural language action statements taken as a result of prior natural issue statements. Calculating the inner product results in probabilities associated with the prior actions. Each of the probabilities represents a corresponding estimate that a corresponding prior action is relevant to the issue vector. A list of proposed actions relevant to the issue vector is generated by comparing the probabilities to a threshold value and selecting a subset of the prior actions with corresponding probabilities above the threshold. The list of proposed actions is transmitted to a user device.
