Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically identifying problem-relevant sentences in a transcript are disclosed. In an example method, a transcript may be received of a first support call. A region of the first support call transcript may be identified, and first customer utterances may be detected in the region using a trained classification model. A trained regression model may estimate a relevancy to the problem statement of each of the first customer utterances, and one or more most problem-relevant statements may be selected from the first customer utterances, based on the estimated relevancies.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computerized apparatus and computer program product for minimum coordination passage scoring. Given a candidate passage in a document collection potentially matching a query received, a set of overlapping terms between the candidate passage and the query is determined. For each overlapping term in the set, a first measure of a weight of the term in the query, a second measure of a weight of the term in the candidate passage, and a third measure of a specificity of the term in the document collection are calculated. a function of the first and second measure is evaluated to obtain a value reflecting a condition on the relation therebetween. A minimum coordination score representing a relative similarity between the candidate passage and the query is determined based on the value and the first, second and third measures obtained for each of the overlapping terms.

Abstract: A method including embedding, by a trained issue MLM (machine learning model), a new natural language issue statement into an issue vector. An inner product of the issue vector with an actions matrix is calculated. The actions matrix includes centroid-vectors calculated using a clustering method from a second output of a trained action MLM which embedded prior actions expressed in natural language action statements taken as a result of prior natural issue statements. Calculating the inner product results in probabilities associated with the prior actions. Each of the probabilities represents a corresponding estimate that a corresponding prior action is relevant to the issue vector. A list of proposed actions relevant to the issue vector is generated by comparing the probabilities to a threshold value and selecting a subset of the prior actions with corresponding probabilities above the threshold. The list of proposed actions is transmitted to a user device.

The selected link is ranked above a second link to a warm page that does satisfy the threshold level of the interaction data. The method further includes presenting the requested page with the selected link.

Abstract: A method of training machine learning models (MLMs). An issue vector is generated using an issue MLM to generate a first output including first embedded natural language issue statements. An action vector is generated using an action MLM to generate a second output including related embedded natural language action statements. The issue and action MLMs are of a same type. An inner product of the first and second output is calculated, forming a third output. The third output is processed according to a sigmoid gate process to predict whether a given issue statement and corresponding action statement relate to a same call, resulting in a fourth output. A loss function is calculated from the fourth output by comparing the fourth output to a known result. The issue MLM and the action MLM are modified using the loss function to obtain a trained issue MLM and a trained action MLM.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for recommending items to users of a recommendation system. In some implementations, the recommendation system determines a plurality of contribution values based on interactions between a plurality of users and a plurality of items. Each of the plurality of contribution values represents a confidence level that a respective user prefers a respective item. The recommendation system further determines a capacity of each of the plurality of items. The capacity of each item represents a maximum number of users to which the item can be recommended. The recommendation system recommends one or more items of the plurality of items to each of the plurality of users based at least in part on the plurality of contribution values and the capacities of the plurality of items.

Abstract: A method including receiving, in a machine learning model (MLM), a corpus including words. The MLM includes layers configured to extract keywords from the corpus, plus a retrospective layer. A first keyword and a second keyword from the corpus are identified in the layers. The first and second keywords are assigned first and second probabilities. Each probability is a likelihood that a keyword is to be included in a key phrase. A determination is made, in the retrospective layer, of a first probability modifier that modifies the first probability based on a first dependence relationship between the second keyword being placed after the first keyword. The first probability is modified using the first probability modifier. The first modified probability is used to determine whether the first keyword and the second keyword together form the key phrase. The key phrase is stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
