  • Patent number: 12266197
    Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods disclosed herein relate to detecting errors in manually entered data. In one embodiment, the system can identify a named entity automatically from a conversation between a customer and service agent with a named entity recognition model that employs natural language processing and machine learning to detect a word or string of words in the conversation that corresponds to a named entity category. In another embodiment, the system can determine whether data entered into a field on a service platform by the service agent includes an error by comparing the data entered with the named entity. In another embodiment, the system can transmit an alert to the service agent through the service platform when there is a mismatch between the named entity and the data entered.

  • Publication number: 20250063118
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an exemplary method that may include steps of monitoring, a conversation script between a call center agent and a customer; utilizing, a speech-to-text deep machine learning model to transcribe the audio call to text; utilizing, a natural language processing deep machine learning model to map intent mappings of the audio call; utilizing, a similarity measurement model to determine a semantic similarity between predefined intent mappings and the intent mappings of the call audio text; determining, an error based on the semantic similarity in the intent mapping call audio text; determining a training session based on the error.

  • Publication number: 20240406315
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing a single live customer service agent to simultaneously serve multiple customers. According to various embodiments, a virtual agent operates at the front end to receive and attempt to handle customer issues. The virtual agent employs speech recognition and intent mapping in order to generate a proposed response that attempts to identify and resolve customer issues. In some scenarios, the proposed response includes both a response message and a response action to be taken. A chat history and the proposed response is then provided to the live agent. The live agent reviews the information provided, and determines whether the proposed response is appropriate. The live agent then approves the response or revises or replaces the response. The final response is sent back to the virtual agent for processing and providing to the customer.

  • Publication number: 20240275881
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may capture audio from a call between a calling device and a called device. The system may filter the captured audio to generate a background audio layer. The system may generate an audio footprint that is a representation of sound in the background audio layer. The system may determine that the audio footprint includes a triggering sound footprint based on one or more audio characteristics of the audio footprint. The system may detect synthetic sound based on the audio footprint and after determining that the audio footprint includes the triggering sound footprint, wherein the synthetic sound is indicative of a sound recording. The system may transmit a notification to one or more devices associated with the call based on detecting the synthetic sound.

  • Publication number: 20240037458
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing network traffic associated with a service. In some aspects, the systems and methods provide for using a first machine learning model to process a data stream for a communication with a user and generate a confidence score regarding whether to assign a communication suppression flag to the user account. Based on the confidence score not exceeding a first threshold, a communication suppression flag is not assigned to the user account. Based on the confidence score being between first and second thresholds, at least a portion of the data stream is extracted based on temporal proximity to a time stamp of an intent of the user to not receive further communications. Using a second machine learning model, the extracted portion of the data stream is processed to generate a prediction regarding whether to assign a communication suppression flag to the user account.
