  • Patent number: 12002459
    Abstract: A baseline of behavior is determined for a population of users that interact with an autonomous agent that is configured to respond to natural language prompts of users of the population using respective user profiles for each user. An element associated with a first user that deviates more than a threshold amount from the baseline is identified. In response to the element deviating more than the threshold amount, the autonomous agent is caused to engage the first user unprompted regarding the element via an engagement that is configured to verify an association between the first user and the element. A response from the first user regarding the engagement is determined to verify the association between the first user and the element. A first user profile that corresponds to the first user is updated in response to determining that the first user response verifies the association.

  • Patent number: 11928611
    Abstract: In an approach for conversational interchange optimization, a processor monitors conversations in a communication system. A processor generates a list of topics in the conversations. A processor determines a flow for each topic based on length of time, number of participants, and sentiment associated to each topic. The flow is the progress of interactions and shifts for each topic. A processor builds a statistical model for each topic based on the flow to predict success or failure of a topic progression for an incoming conversation. A processor updates the topic progression for the incoming conversation based on the predicted success or failure.
