Abstract: A method of routing interactions to contact center agents according to an embodiment includes identifying an interaction to be routed to a contact center agent, identifying a group of contact center agents as candidates for routing of the interaction, retrieving agent performance data for each candidate agent of the group of contact center agents identified as candidates for routing of the interaction, determining a predicted score for a key performance indicator for each candidate agent based on the agent performance data, determining an occupancy rate of each candidate agent based on the agent performance data, generating a ranking of the candidate agents for routing prioritization based on the predicted score for the key performance indicator for each candidate agent and the occupancy rate of each candidate agent, and signaling a routing device to route the interaction to a selected candidate agent based on the ranking of the candidate agents.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for customer journey event representation learning and outcome prediction using neural sequence models. A plurality of events are input into a module where each event has a schema comprising characteristics of the events and their modalities (web clicks, calls, emails, chats, etc.). The events of different modalities can be captured using different schemas and therefore embodiments described herein are schema-agnostic. Each event is represented as a vector of some number of numbers by the module with a plurality of vectors being generated in total for each customer visit. The vectors are then used in sequence learning to predict real-time next best actions or outcome probabilities in a customer journey using machine learning algorithms such as recurrent neural networks.
