Abstract: An audio stream is detected during a communication session with a user. Natural language processing on the audio stream is performed to update a set of attributes by supplementing the set of attributes based on attributes derived from the audio stream. A set of filter values is updated based on the updated set of attributes. The updated set of filter values is used to query a set of databases to obtain datasets. A probabilistic program is executed during the communication session by determining a set of probability parameters characterizing a probability of an anomaly occurring based on the datasets and the set of attributes. A determination is made if whether the probability satisfies a threshold. In response to a determination that the probability satisfies the threshold, a record is updated to identify the communication session to indicate that the threshold is satisfied.

Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for routing task objects to multiple agents that involve receiving and storing real-time sensor data for multiple agents, receiving tasks and, for each task, create a task object representing the task and placing the task object in an input buffer. For each task object in the input buffer, utilize the real-time sensor data to identify one or more of the multiple agents as suitable for assignment to the task, apply a routing strategy to the task object to further select one of the multiple agents identified as suitable for assignment of the task object based on sensor data, and route the task object from the input buffer to a workbin corresponding to the selected agent.
