Abstract: Systems and methods include generating an urgency score associated with data associated with a communication session based on processing the data and using the urgency score to modify a behavior of a bot or a call center agent and optimize a contact center. Systems and methods include modifying behavior of a bot or an agent during the communication session in response to the data. Systems and methods include modifying dialog of a bot, or a script of an agent, and modifying a control flow for the communication session. Optimizing a contact center includes adjusting a workload of an agent associated with the communication session.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is often utilized for conducting an interaction with a human, such as a customer of a business. While AI agents may successfully interact with a customer to complete a particular task, in some circumstances, an interaction may be beyond the ability of the AI agent. As a result, supervisor may be presented with indicia of an interaction and provide an input, after the input the AI agent may be able to resume the interaction to a successful conclusion. The input may be to modify an AI agent's behavior or provide a particular input as a portion of the interaction with the customer. The AI agent receives or monitors the input and incorporates such inputs into a subsequent training session to alleviate the need for subsequent human involvement if a similar interaction occurs in in the future.

Abstract: An event selection system for computing user migration pattern across social network pages is provided. The event selection system includes a monitor module to monitor predetermined activities of social media users on preconfigured resources. The event selection system further includes a profile module to build a social media user profile based on the monitored activities of the social media users. The event selection system further includes a computing module to compute user migration patterns based on the social media user profiles. The event selection system further includes a display module to display the user migration patterns on a system user terminal. The event selection system further includes a reporting module configured to produce a report based on the monitored social media user activities.

Abstract: A method and a system for adaptive outbound campaign are provided. The system includes a monitoring module for real-time monitoring of public sentiment to an outbound campaign. Further, the system includes an adaptive module communicably coupled to the monitoring module. The adaptive module further adapts one or more parameters corresponding to the outbound campaign based on the monitored public sentiment.

Abstract: A system for providing customized customer service interaction between a user and an enterprise is disclosed. The system includes a badge and a badge reader. The badge is installed at a user device, and the badge reader is installed at the enterprise. The badge is configured to generate an access key for a customer's social network account based on a customer's work request to the enterprise. The badge reader is configured to retrieve user data as permitted by the associated access key from the badge, and route a work request of the user to a suitable agent of the enterprise based on the user data.

Abstract: A social media network is monitored for postings of a control group. The control group is a group of one or more individuals that posts on a particular topic. The postings of the control group may cover all the postings of each member of the control group for a period of time. A first relative social media score is calculated for the postings of the control group on the social media network. A social media score is calculated for a social media posting of a user or entity on the social media network. The relative social media score for the control group is compared to the social media score for the user or entity to see if there is a significant difference. If there is a significant difference, an agent in a contact center to is identified respond to the social media posting of the user or entity.

Abstract: An agent selection system for selecting agents during call routing in a contact center is provided. The agent selection system includes a data mining module to mine agent related data from preconfigured resources e.g., social networking sites. The agent selection system further includes a profile module to build one or more agent profile based on the mined agent related data. The agent selection system further includes a mapping module configured to map a customer profile in a customer work request with the one or more agent profile. The agent selection system further includes a selection module to select an agent for handling the customer work request based on mapping between the customer profile and the one or more agent profile.

Abstract: Techniques for topical customer service menu reconfiguration based on social media are claimed. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a social media gateway and an adjustment component. The social media gateway may be operative to receive social media information from one or more social media networks. The adjustment component may be operative to data mine the social media information to extract one or more characteristics, infer a trend from the extracted one or more characteristics, and adjust a customer service menu tree based upon the inferred trend. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Social media websites contain posts which may benefit persons affected by an emergency situation or natural disaster. Discovering trustworthy posters of useful information is disclosed such that messages indicating relevant information, and an associated trust value, may be provided to interested parties.

Abstract: Derivative network profile is provided for determining a more complete picture of a customer on a social media website or websites for improved customer interactions. A customer may have a social media presence with any number of connections to other individuals, businesses, etc. As provided herein, the relevancy of those connections is determined within the context of a “seed” or business purpose. As a benefit, a customer who may share a substantial amount of information (e.g., funny videos, favorite sports teams, etc.) with a large pool of connections, may have a particular relationship identified (e.g., a more obscure relative who travels frequently) when a contact center is interacting with the customer with respect to the business purpose (e.g., providing travel-related services to the customer).

Abstract: The system and method enable an agent to be able to select a contact (e.g., a voice call or email from a customer) from a contact queue in a contact center. As contacts come into a contact center, the contacts are placed in the contact queue. An agent in the contact center is presented with the contacts along with a profile that is associated with each of the contacts. The profile may contain information about the contacts such as an attitude of the contact, a conversation style of the contact, a sentiment of the contact, and the like. The agent selects one of the contacts in the contact queue. The selected contact is then sent to the agent for handling.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for collecting proxy presence information about an object associated with a user from one or more proxy presence sources associated with the user. A proxy presence agent is associated with each of the proxy presence sources; and the proxy presence agents provide proxy presence information to one or more presence servers. The object may be, for example, one or more of a business document, an application document, or one or more runtime objects associated with the user. The proxy presence agent reports one or more of macropresence events and micropresence events related to the object. A continuous presence function is generated for each of the proxy presence sources that characterizes the likelihood that the object is active at the corresponding presence source at a given time. The proxy presence sources may include, for example, one or more business applications, application execution environments, devices or locations.

Abstract: A contact center system can receive messages from social media sites or centers. The messages may include a problem encountered by a customer. The system can review messages to identify the problem and any solution provided in the social media. The system may then automatically retrieve, store, and repurpose the solution. Thus, the system uses the discovered solution to respond to future occurrences of the problem.
