INFLUENCE SCORING FOR SEGMENT ANALYSIS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The segment analysis system analyzes survey data to determine the influence each custom question/response combination (segment) has on a given aggregate scored survey metric for a given date/date range. The system removes from consideration all surveys that do not include a scored survey metric and date that matche the aggregate scored survey metric and given date/date range. The system further removes from consideration all surveys not pertaining received user-defined filtering. Once the system has eliminated all extraneous surveys from consideration, the system segments each question/response combinations across the pool of surveys to generate an influence score for each question/response combination. The system identifies which segment has the greatest positive and negative influence on the aggregate scored survey metric for the given date/date range. The system generates reports for the segment analysis and stores all segment analyses for further comparative analysis.

SELECTING FORECASTING ALGORITHMS USING MOTIFS AND CLASSES
Methods and systems for selecting a forecasting algorithm to use for a forecast for a time interval are provided. A class is a series of time intervals that is selected by an entity from time series data that relates to external data or is a series of time intervals from the time series data that corresponds to a motif. The time series data is processed by a computer to identify motifs, and classes are generated based on each identified motif. A user may further identify one or more classes in the time series data. For each class, the forecasting algorithm that best predicts the historical demand data for time intervals associated with the class is determined. Later, when the entity desires to receive a forecast for a future time interval, the class associated with the future time interval is determined. The forecasting algorithm determined to best predict demand for the determined class is then used.

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for selecting the forecasting algorithm to use for a prediction based on motifs. A motif is a pattern of interval values that is found to repeat in time series data. Time series data that includes historical demand data (e.g., average communication volume) for an entity at various time intervals in the past is received. The time series data is processed to identify motifs. For each identified motif, the forecasting algorithm that best predicts the historical demand data for time intervals associated with the motif is determined. Later, when the entity desires to receive a forecast for a future time interval, the motif associated with the future time interval is determined. The forecasting algorithm determined to best predict demand for the determined motif is then used to predict the demand for the future time interval.
The present invention allows text analysis and routing of an outgoing message. The system intercepts outgoing messages for analysis by a TAS software module.

As described herein, a system for expanding contractions in electronically stored text includes expanding contractions having only on expanded form. For remaining contractions, a grammar check is performed for all possible expanded forms to determine if an expanded form can be selected based on context and grammar rules. If an expanded form is not evident from the first two steps, all possible expanded forms of the remaining contractions are converted to a vector representation along with the original text. A Word Movers Distance (WMD) for each possible expansion is calculated using the vectors for each possible expansion and the original text. An expanded form is chosen without human intervention based on the grammar score alone or the WMD and the grammar score.

Natural language processing with non-ontological hierarchy models
A non-ontological hierarchy for language models is based on established psycholinguistic and neuro-linguistic evidences. By using non-ontological hierarchies, a more natural understanding of user's inputs and intents improve toward a better potential for producing intelligent responses in a conversational situation.
An IVR and chatbot, or other system, employing a language model, the language model resulting from a method and computer product encoding the method is available for preparing a domain or subdomain specific glossary. The method included using probabilities, word context, common terminology and different terminology to identify domain and subdomain specific language and a related glossary updated according to the method.
Various embodiments are described for searching and retrieving documents based on a natural language input. A computer-implemented natural language processor electronically receives a natural language input phrase from an interface device. The natural language processor attributes a concept to the phrase with the natural language processor. The natural language processor searches a database for a set of documents to identify one or more documents associated with the attributed concept to be included in a response to the natural language input phrase. The natural language processor maintains the concepts during an interactive session with the natural language processor. The natural language processor resolves ambiguous input patterns in the natural language input phrase with the natural language processor. The natural language processor includes a processor, a memory and/or storage component, and an input/output device.
An architecture for assessing and identifying fraudulent contact with client contact systems, such as IVR, includes threshold and machine learning scoring and filtering of calls based on these criteria. The criteria may include behavioral, situational and reputational scoring.

System and method for omnichannel user engagement and response
A telephone subnet crawler is used to access automated telephone response systems and index the information, contents and structure contained therein. A database of the information, contents and structure of a plurality of automated telephone response systems is created by the telephone subnet crawler. A user interface provides a waiting party with direct access to the information, contents and structure of the automated telephone response systems contained in the database. Where an automated telephone response system requires user input, the user interface calls the automated telephone response system and navigates to the node requiring user input, provides the user input and displays the results to the user. Where an automated telephone response system connects to an operator, the user interface calls the automated telephone response system, navigates to the node for an operator, and when an operator is detected, calls the user at a user provided callback number.

SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERSATIONAL GUIDANCE
The present disclosure provides real-time, contextually appropriate behavioral guidance by utilizing machine learning models applied in real-time to call audio data. The systems and methods disclosed herein use a combination of acoustic signal processing and automatic speech recognition to convert raw call audio into features that are utilized in the machine learning models to create usable outputs to provide a user with behavioral guidance within a given context of a call or interaction with a customer in real-time.
The present invention allows a CEC system to automatedly, and without human intervention, identify interactions that are likely in need of supervisor intervention. The system reviews all incoming and outgoing interactions for analysis by a metadata analytics service (MAS) software module. The MAS analyzes the interactions to generate interaction metadata, which is used by an interaction analysis engine (IAE) to score the quality of the interaction. If the quality of the interaction is not sufficient, the system marks the interaction as being a problem interaction and notifies a supervisor of the interaction. This ensures the intelligent and dynamic determination of interactions that require additional assistance and assures notification to a supervisor.

System and method of automated routing and guidance based on continuous customer and customer service representative feedback
The present invention is a system and method of routing incoming communications to a CSR and providing guidance to the CSR based on the incoming communication using feedback information such as sentiment feedback, survey feedback, and feedback from actions taken by CSRs based on skill level. A CEC system receives an incoming communication, analyzes the communication and creates metadata based off of the analysis. The metadata is used by the RAE routing module to route the communication to an appropriate party. The metadata is also used by the GAE guidance module to determine the guidance to provide to the CSR. The CSR then performs an action based on the guidance. The CEC system continues to monitor the interaction until the interaction is completed. The communication metadata, the communication, the guidance, and the CSRs action are all provided to a RAS rules analysis module wherein the RAS analyzes the data and automatedly updates the rules (RAR and GAR) according to the analysis.
In an entity such as a call center, back office, or retail operation, external event data is recorded along with call volume information for a plurality of time intervals. Based on the recorded event data and call volume for the plurality of intervals, a model is trained to predict call (or other communication) volume for a specified time interval using the external event data. The external event data may include data about one or more events that may affect the demand received by the entity. When the predicted call volume is significantly above or below what would be predicted for the entity using historical data alone, an indicator may be displayed to a user or administrator that identifies the external event that is responsible for the lower or higher prediction. The call volume prediction may be used to schedule one or more agents (or other employees) to work during the specified time interval.
