  • Publication number: 20240120103
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes defining model attributes including a training iteration value that defines a set of training iterations to be used in machine learning to associate portions of feedback data with a set of topic groups based on similarities in concepts conveyed in the feedback data. The method includes removing at least some of the confidential information from the feedback data. The method includes receiving a topic model number selection that indicates a subset of the set of topic groups. The method includes using machine learning to train a machine model based on the model attributes and the topic model number selection. The method includes generating a display showing at least one of a topic cluster graph or a word cloud based on the machine model.

  • Patent number: 11848101
    Abstract: A method includes defining model attributes of a machine model that organizes feedback data into topic groups based on similarities in concepts in the feedback data. The model attributes include a topic model number that defines how many topic groups are to be created, a hyperparameter optimization alpha value, and/or a hyperparameter optimization beta value. The method also includes generating the machine model using the model attributes that are defined and the feedback data, and applying the machine model to the feedback data to divide different portions of the feedback data into the different topic groups based on contents of the feedback data, the topic model number, the hyperparameter optimization alpha value, and/or the hyperparameter optimization beta value.

  • Patent number: 11087880
    Abstract: A method includes defining model attributes of an organizational machine model that organizes feedback data from one or more sources of the feedback data into plural different topic groups based on similarities in concepts expressed in the feedback data. The model attributes represent criteria for establishment of the organizational machine model and include a topic model number that defines how many of the different topic groups are to be created by the organizational machine model and used to organize the feedback data into, a hyperparameter optimization alpha value that defines how likely a feedback datum in the feedback data is to be included in a single topic group of the different topic groupings or multiple topic groups of the different topic groupings, and a hyperparameter optimization beta value that defines how broadly each of the different topic groups are defined relative to the feedback data.

  • Patent number: 11030277
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining source data containing feedback information, identifying different phrases of interest in the feedback information, generating count data that indicates how often the different phrases of interest appear in the feedback information, determining counts of how often the phrases of interest appear in the feedback information, and modifying a count that is representative of how often at least one phrase of interest appears in the feedback data. The count is modified by reducing the count by a count of how often another, shorter phrase of interest also appears in the feedback data. The method also includes generating at least one interface respectively reflecting the count data for the different phrases of interest and the count that has been modified.

  • Publication number: 20210158919
    Abstract: A content analysis system includes a processor executing instructions from memory. The instructions include, in response to receiving a request signal from a user device, obtaining feedback items, each having a source indicator; identifying unique source indicators; and, for each source indicator, aggregating corresponding ones of the feedback items. A set of filtered feedback items is generated according to either first or second access levels associated with a user of the user device. A subset of filtered feedback items is selected according to a date range specified by the request signal, a set of automated rules is applied, and natural language processing is performed based on frequency of presence of salient terms to identify themes. A control signal is transmitted to a user interface of the user device instructing display of a representation that indicates a change in the frequency of the identified themes over the specified date range.
