Automatic detection, summarization and reporting of business intelligence highlights from automated dialog systems
View Patent ↗A method and system for reporting data from a spoken dialog service is disclosed. The method comprises extracting data regarding user dialogs using a dialog logging module in the spoken dialog service, analyzing the data to identify trends and reporting the trends. The data may be presented in a visual form for easier consumption. The method may also relate to identifying data within the control or outside the control of a service provider that is used to adjust the spoken dialog service to maximize customer retention.
1. A method comprising:
receiving data associated with a dialog between a human and a non-human automated spoken dialog service of a service provider, the data being associated with a geographic area;
analyzing, via a processor, the data to identify trends for the geographic area, to yield identified trends;
comparing the identified trends for the geographic area with an average in a wider geographic area containing the geographic area, to yield a comparison;
generating top trends headlines based on the identified trends and the comparison which exceed a threshold value;
identifying event data for the geographic area affecting operations of the service provider and outside a control of the service provider, the event data being one of weather data and natural disaster data; and
modifying the non-human automated spoken dialog service based on the top trends headlines and the event data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying further comprises modifying the non-human automated spoken dialog service within the geographic area based on the top trends headlines.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the data further comprises analyzing a time-sequence associated with the data.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified trends relate to user patterns within the geographic area.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reporting the top trends headlines.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein reporting the top trends headlines further comprises presenting to a user an option to drill down into the analyzed data.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the option to drill down into the analyzed data further comprises presenting the user with an option to hear user dialogs.
8. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage device having instructions stored for controlling the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving data associated with a dialog between a human and a non-human automated spoken dialog service of a service provider, the data being associated with a geographic area;
analyzing the data to identify trends for the geographic area to yield identified trends;
comparing the identified trends for the geographic area with an average in a wider geographic area containing the geographic area, to yield a comparison;
generating top trends headlines based on the identified trends and the comparison which exceed a threshold value;
identifying event data for the geographic area affecting operations of the service provider and outside a control of the service provider, the event data being one of weather data and natural disaster data; and
modifying the non-human automated spoken dialog service based on the top trends headlines and the event data.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the modifying further comprises modifying the non-human automated spoken dialog service within the geographic area based on the top trends headlines.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein analyzing the data further comprises analyzing a time-sequence associated with the data.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the identified trends relate to user patterns within the geographic area.
12. The system of claim 8 , the computer-readable storage device having additional instructions stored which result in the operations further comprising reporting the top trends headlines.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein reporting the top trends headlines further comprises presenting to a user an option to drill down into the analyzed data.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the option to drill down into the analyzed data further comprises presenting the user with an option to hear user dialogs.
15. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving data associated with a dialog between a human and a non-human automated spoken dialog service of a service provider, the data being associated with a geographic area;
analyzing the data to identify trends for the geographic area to yield identified trends;
comparing the identified trends for the geographic area with an average in a wider geographic area containing the geographic area, to yield a comparison;
generating top trends headlines based on the identified trends and the comparison which exceed a threshold value;
identifying event data for the geographic area affecting operations of the service provider and outside a control of the service provider, the event data being one of weather data and natural disaster data; and
modifying the non-human automated spoken dialog service based on the top trends headlines and the event data.
16. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the modifying further comprises modifying the non-human automated spoken dialog service within the geographic area based on the top trends headlines.
17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein analyzing the data further comprises analyzing a time-sequence associated with the data.
18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the identified trends relate to user patterns within the geographic area.
19. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , the computer-readable storage device having additional instructions stored which result in the operations further comprising reporting the top trends headlines.
20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein reporting the top trends headlines further comprises presenting to a user an option to drill down into the analyzed data.
