Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system for determination of personality traits of agents in a contact center. The method includes retrieving textual data corresponding to a conversation between a first agent and a first customer. The method further includes generating a natural language justification corresponding to a set of personality traits of the first agent based on the textual data through a first Machine Learning (ML) model. The natural language justification may include one or more sentences. The one or more sentences may include a mapping of the textual data with the set of personality traits and a qualitative label associated with each of the set of personality traits. The method further includes determining a value corresponding to each of the set of personality traits of the first agent through the first ML model based on the natural language justification and the associated qualitative label.

Abstract: An apparatus for autonomous form factor control of a foldable mobile device includes a processor that determines a current form factor of the foldable mobile device and senses a forward motion or a backward motion of a subject within a field of view of a camera of the device. In response to forward motion of a user, the processor raises a pointing elevation angle of the camera to maintaining the user within the field of view by autonomously controlling the hinge angle between the first device housing and the second device housing of the foldable mobile device and in response to backward motion the processor lowers the pointing elevation angle by autonomously using shape memory actuators to control the hinge angle in the direction determined based on the form factor.

Abstract: A holographic calling system can capture and encode holographic data at a sender-side of a holographic calling pipeline and decode and present the holographic data as a 3D representation of a sender at a receiver-side of the holographic calling pipeline. The holographic calling pipeline can include stages to capture audio, color images, and depth images; densify the depth images to have a depth value for each pixel while generating parts masks and a body model; use the masks to segment the images into parts needed for hologram generation; convert depth images into a 3D mesh; paint the 3D mesh with color data; perform torso disocclusion; perform face reconstruction; and perform audio synchronization. In various implementations, different of these stages can be performed sender-side or receiver side. The holographic calling pipeline also includes sender-side compression, transmission over a communication channel, and receiver-side decompression and hologram output.
