Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for determining a set of categories based on textual input. In use, textual input is identified. Further, a first set of categories is determined based on the textual input. Further still, one or more actions are performed, utilizing the first set of categories.

Claims (24)

1. A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer code for:

identifying textual input, including notes taken by a user during a conversation;

determining a first plurality of categories describing a plurality of types of information found within the textual input by applying a plurality of linguistic rules to a plurality of portions of the textual input;

identifying a second plurality of categories determined by the user in response to the conversation;

determining whether a number of differences between the first set of categories and the second set of categories exceeds a predetermined threshold; and

generating a report, when it is determined that the number of differences between the first set of categories and the second set of categories exceeds the predetermined threshold.

2. The computer program of claim 1 , wherein the conversation includes a customer service call between a customer and a customer service representative (CSR).

3. The computer program of claim 1 , wherein the textual input includes a request made by a customer utilizing a graphical user interface (GUI).

4. The computer program of claim 1 , further comprising using the first plurality of categories to categorize one or more portions of the textual input.

5. The computer program of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the differences between the determined first plurality of categories and the second plurality of categories include one or more specific differences.

6. A method, comprising:

identifying textual input, including notes taken by a user during a conversation;

determining, using a processor, a first plurality of categories describing a plurality of types of information found within the textual input by applying a plurality of linguistic rules to a plurality of portions of the textual input;

identifying, using the processor, a second plurality of categories determined by the user in response to the conversation;

determining whether a number of differences between the first set of categories and the second set of categories exceeds a predetermined threshold; and

generating a report using the processor, when it is determined that the number of differences between the first set of categories and the second set of categories exceeds the predetermined threshold.

7. A system, comprising:

a processor coupled to a memory, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor perform the following:

identifying textual input, including notes taken by a user during a conversation;

determining a first plurality of categories describing a plurality of types of information found within the textual input by applying a plurality of linguistic rules to a plurality of portions of the textual input;

identifying a second plurality of categories determined by the user in response to the conversation;

determining whether a number of differences between the first set of categories and the second set of categories exceeds a predetermined threshold; and

generating a report, when it is determined that the number of differences between the first set of categories and the second set of categories exceeds the predetermined threshold.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is coupled to the memory via a bus.
