  • Publication number: 20240121337
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include identifying a call originated from a caller entity destined for a called entity at a call content server, identifying a called number associated with the called entity and a caller number associated with the caller entity, comparing a telephone number prefix associated with the called number with a number of enhanced call content data elements to identify a match, selecting one or more of the enhanced call content data elements to pair with the called number based on the match, and forwarding the selected enhanced call content data elements to the called entity.

  • Publication number: 20240095840
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method for providing re-quotations for insurance coverage may include receiving a list of insurance leads corresponding to individuals who received a previous quotation for insurance coverage but did not purchase the insurance coverage and identifying a difference between the previous quotation and a new quotation. This difference may include an increase in offered insurance coverage and/or a reduction in cost. A computing device may calculate a probability for each of the individuals on the list using a regression model based, at least in part, on the identified difference. In some cases, the regression model may be associated with individual states. In other cases, the regression model may correspond to a plurality of states. The regression model may output a probability that a resident of a particular state will purchase insurance in response to a re-quotation for insurance coverage, where individuals may then be ranked based on the probability.

  • Patent number: 11861540
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize improved natural language processing techniques for performance evaluation and training. A computing platform may automatically determine, based on audio transcription files, a model for dynamic performance evaluation and training, which may be dynamically updated as additional audio transcription files are received. The computing platform may receive and analyze an additional audio transcription file using natural language processing and the model, which may result in proficiency scores. Based on the proficiency scores, the computing platform may calculate an overall proficiency score and identify areas for improvement associated with the first individual. Based on the areas for improvement, the computing platform may determine performance feedback tailored to the individual and may send, to a user device associated with the individual, the performance feedback.
