  • Publication number: 20240420690
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps to automatically generate fine-grained call reasons from customer service call transcripts. The computing system extracts, using a natural language processing (NLP) technique, a set of events from a set of text strings of speaker turns. The computing system then identifies a set of clusters of events based on the set of events and labels each cluster of events in the set of clusters of events to generate a set of labeled clusters of events. Subsequently, the computing system assigns each event in the set of events to a respective labeled cluster of events in the set of labeled clusters of events.
