Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to message distribution in a contact center. Messages generated by an administrator and/or by a trained model processing data from customer interactions with the contact center are stored in a message queue. A desktop application running on a representative device and hosted by the contact center queries the message queue for messages intended for a representative using the representative device. Messages intended for the representative are automatically displayed on the representative device, e.g., on the desktop.

Abstract: A device receives a notification indicating a failure of a first server device responsible for a primary message queue that includes messages at a time of the failure. A second server device is responsible for a standby message queue to which the messages are replicated, where a position in the standby message queue and a message time are assigned to each of the replicated messages. The device obtains a record time that identifies the message time of one of the messages that was last obtained from the primary message queue prior to the failure, compares an adjusted record time and the message time of one or more of the messages of the standby message queue to determine a starting position in the standby message queue, and processes messages obtained from the standby message queue beginning at one of the messages assigned to the position that matches the starting position.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for utilizing deep learning to intelligently determine compression settings for compressing a digital image. For instance, the disclosed system utilizes a neural network to generate predicted perceptual quality values for compression settings on a compression quality scale. The disclosed system fits the predicted compression distortions to a perceptual distortion characteristic curve for interpolating predicted perceptual quality values across the compression settings on the compression quality scale. Additionally, the disclosed system then performs a search over the predicted perceptual quality values for the compression settings along the compression quality scale to select a compression setting based on a perceptual quality threshold. The disclosed system generates a compressed digital image according to compression parameters for the selected compression setting.

Abstract: The present invention provides a robust and effective solution to an entity or an organization for creating and standardizing an Automotive Data Quality Marker (ADQM) to determine/evaluate/predict the quality of automotive data such as Telematics, Body Control, ADAS, Diagnostics, Dashcams, and In-Vehicle Infotainment but not limited to the like generated by the vehicle (i.e., data source) using a machine learning (ML) engine associated with a processing unit. The machine learning engine comprises an amalgamation of machine learning algorithms to determine ADQM for a particular dataset. Data pertaining to vehicles is huge and repetitive. Re-training of the model for improved accuracy is a requirement as automotive data can be augmented with additional signals and data received and stored as trip objects on a regular basis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a robust and effective solution to an entity or an organization by allowing to visualize the flow of automotive data signals from a source system to a sink system with different metric signals at each step and creating a mechanism for creating automotive signal quality marker (ASQM) for high quality automotive data signals by determining high value data parameters, inter-parameter correlation, data quality variation with trip duration, and frequency of data collection/distribution across datasets. The quality criterion thus developed is applied to data generated from a plurality of data sources. The ASQM may be calculated by converting the developed automotive data signals quality criterion into a numeric value on a specified scale. It can be used by all stakeholders in the value chain for consistent measurement of automotive data signals quality.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for evaluating a content segment for relevancy to several of categories. The method retrieves the content segment. For each of the several categories, the method determines the relevancy of the content segment to the category by using a scoring model for the category. The scoring model accounts for (i) the presence of key word sets in the content segment and (ii) the context of the key word sets in the content segment. For each of the several categories, the method tags the content segment when the content segment is determined as relevant to the category.
