Abstract

In a method for managing a contact center, the method includes: receiving, by a processor, a first plurality of communications from a server during a training period; transmitting, by the processor, a pair of the communications to a device operated by a first contact center agent; receiving, by the processor, a signal from the device operated by the first contact center agent indicating a selection, by the first contact center agent, of a ranking between the pair of the communications; receiving, by the processor, a second plurality of communications from the server during a non-training period; reorganizing, by the processor, the second plurality of communications based on the selection of the ranking between the pair of communications to generate a reorganized second plurality of communications; and routing, by the processor during the non-training period, one or more of the reorganized second plurality of communications according to rank.

Claims (45)

1 . A method for managing a contact center, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, a first plurality of communications from a server during a training period;

transmitting, by the processor, a pair of the communications to a device operated by a first contact center agent;

receiving, by the processor, a signal from the device operated by the first contact center agent indicating a selection, by the first contact center agent, of a ranking between the pair of the communications;

receiving, by the processor, a second plurality of communications from the server during a non-training period;

reorganizing, by the processor, the second plurality of communications based on the selection of the ranking between the pair of communications to generate a reorganized second plurality of communications; and

routing, by the processor during the non-training period, one or more of the reorganized second plurality of communications according to rank.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the server corresponds to a social media platform.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, by the processor, the communications in a buffer.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, by the processor, the plurality of ranked pairs in a buffer based on a plurality of selections from a plurality of agents regarding a plurality of pairs of the communications.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal comprises a ranked pair indicating the selection of the ranking between the pair of the communications.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising calculating, by the processor, a weight vector based on the ranked pair.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising reorganizing, by the processor, the second plurality of communications based on the weight vector.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising routing, by the processor, a communication, from among the pair of communications, that corresponds to the selection of a higher ranking between the pair of the communications, to the device operated by the first contact center agent.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the processor, the pair of the communications to a device operated by a second contact center agent.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a signal from the device operated by the second contact center agent indicating a selection, by the second contact center agent, of the ranking between the pair of the communications; and

overwriting, by the processor, the selection by the first contact center agent with the selection by the second contact center agent.

11 . A system for managing a contact center, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a first plurality of communications from a server during a training period;

transmit a pair of the communications to a device operated by a first contact center agent;

receive a signal from the device operated by the first contact center agent indicating a selection, by the first contact center agent, of a ranking between the pair of the communications;

receive a second plurality of communications from the server during a non-training period;

reorganize the second plurality of communications based on the selection of the ranking between the pair of communications to generate a reorganized second plurality of communications; and

route, during the non-training period, one or more of the reorganized second plurality of communications according to rank.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the server corresponds to a social media platform.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to store the communications in a buffer.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to store the plurality of ranked pairs in a buffer based on a plurality of selections from a plurality of agents regarding a plurality of pairs of the communications.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the signal comprises a ranked pair indicating the selection of the ranking between the pair of the communications.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to calculate a weight vector based on the ranked pair.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to reorganize the second plurality of communications based on the weight vector.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to route a communication, from among the pair of communications, that corresponds to the selection of a higher ranking between the pair of the communications, to the device operated by the first contact center agent.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

transmit the pair of the communications to a device operated by a second contact center agent;

receive a signal from the device operated by the second contact center agent indicating a selection, by the second contact center agent, of the ranking between the pair of the communications; and

overwrite the selection by the first contact center agent with the selection by the second contact center agent.

20 . A system for managing a contact center, the system comprising:

means for receiving a first plurality of communications from a server during a training period;

means for transmitting a pair of the communications to a device operated by a first contact center agent;

means for receiving a signal from the device operated by the first contact center agent indicating a selection, by the first contact center agent, of a ranking between the pair of the communications;

means for receiving a second plurality of communications from the server during a non-training period;

means for reorganizing the second plurality of communications based on the selection of the ranking between the pair of communications to generate a reorganized second plurality of communications; and

means for routing, during the non-training period, one or more of the reorganized second plurality of communications according to rank.
