  • Publication number: 20220335438
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for retaining user value by leveraging support interaction data. One of the methods includes receiving user support interaction data derived from specified user support interactions and user information not derived from the specified user support interactions. Expected value of the user to an entity is determined assuming the specified user support interactions did not occur and given that the specified user support interactions did occur. Action data is generated. The action data is generated based on the user support interaction data, the user information not derived from the specified user support interaction, the expected value of the user to the entity assuming the specified user support interactions did not occur, and the expected value of the user to the entity given that the specified user support interactions did occur. Action is taken based on the action data.

  • Publication number: 20190310888
    Abstract: Methods, and systems for processing a request sent to a virtual assistant management system and for allocating resources, e.g., computing resources, in response to such requests. One of the methods includes: receiving a request; determining a category of the request; determining actions associated with completing the request; using a machine learning model to estimate an amount of time to complete the request based on the category and the actions associated with completing the request, wherein the machine learning model was trained using features characterizing a previous request that was completed by an agent and the time it took the agent to complete the previous request; and rating an agent's performance based in part on a comparison of an amount of time it takes an agent to complete the request and the estimated amount of time to complete the request generated by the machine learning model.
