Abstract: Techniques are described for performing team member behavior identification and classification using a machine learning model and one or more rule-based models for customer communications. A computing system receives a message from a user device. The computing system uses output of a machine learning model to determine whether the message includes an indication of team member behavior including at least one behavior term and at least one team member reference. The computing system also uses output of one or more rule-based models to determine whether the message includes an indication of a type of team member behavior including a type of behavior term and a type of team member reference substantially proximate to each other within the message. Based on the message including the indication of team member behavior, the computing system sends the message to another system corresponding to the type of team member behavior included in the message.
