Abstract: Techniques for extracting data from conversations across different types of communication channels are disclosed. A system applies a set of rules to extract data from conversations based, at least in part, on a type of communication channel used for conducting the conversation. The system applies a machine learning model to recognize semantic content in conversations. The system divides conversations into conversation segments and classifies the conversation segments based on the semantic content. The system selects conversation segments to be extracted based on the semantic content and the type of communication channel over which a conversation is conducted. The system maps conversation segments from different conversations conducted on different types of communication channels to a same set of transactions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting changes in network activity that are depicted in a routing table. The routing table may be stored as a search tree data structure (e.g., Merkle Patricia Tree) to mimic a standard routing table and reduce the search time to find the desired route by allowing the router to traverse the search tree data structure more efficiently. Additionally, the metadata of the tree may be provided to an unstructured machine learning model (e.g., K-means) to identify new clusters of routes week-over-week and generate an alert with any changes. Changes are identified in near real time and dynamically at the router (not a central device) to reduce the time needed to respond to network changes.
