Abstract

A communication system for processing a call includes control logic and at least one machine learning model generating call classifiers from outputs of an audio signal processor and a natural language processor operated on the call. Heuristic logic transforms the call classifiers into weighted sub-metrics for the call, and aggregate normalized Gaussian logic transforms the weighted sub-metrics into a metric control that may be applied as a feedback signal to adapt the operation of the control logic. The control logic in turn may adapt the behavior of an agent, automated voice attendant, or a template utilized in a call flow.
