Abstract

Techniques are described for generating metrics about an individual's experience. One of the method describes providing, by at least one processor, the session record as input to at least one computer-processable model that determines, based on the session record, at least one metric for the service session, the at least one model having been trained, using machine learning and based at least partly on survey data for previous service sessions, to provide the at least one metric associated with the individual's experience. The method includes associating, by at least one processor, the metric of the individual's experience with the individual. The method also includes communicating, by at least one processor, the at least one metric for presentation through a user interface of a computing device.

Claims (57)

1. A computer-implemented method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:

training a neural network to process a first record of communications between a first service representative (SR) and a first individual during a first service session to generate one or more predicted survey scores that rate the first service session on one or more criteria, wherein the training is conducted using training data comprising, for each of one or more previous service sessions, a respective previous record of the previous service session and a respective set of one or more actual survey scores provided by a serviced individual to rate the previous service session on the one or more criteria;

receiving, by at least one processor, a second record of communications between a second service representative (SR) and a second individual during a second service session;

processing, using the trained neural network, the second record to determine one or more new predicted survey scores that rate the second service session, wherein the trained neural network comprises a language neural network model and an acoustic neural network model, and wherein the trained neural network comprises different neurons, each neuron corresponding to a respective criterion of the one or more criteria;

associating, by at least one processor, the one or more new predicted survey scores with the second individual; and

communicating, by at least one processor, the one or more new predicted survey scores for presentation through a user interface of a computing device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the second service session is an audio call between the SR and the individual; and

the second record includes an audio record of at least a portion of the audio call.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the respective previous service session is an audio call; and

the respective previous record includes an audio record of at least a portion of the audio call.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

updating the second individual requirements based on a metric; and

selecting another service representative to interact with the second individual on a subsequent service session based in part on the updated requirements.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request for a service session from a third individual;

identifying a fourth individual similar to the third individual; and

connecting the third individual with another service representative, where the other service representative is selected, at least in part, based on metrics associated with the fourth individual.

6. A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with computer program instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

training a neural network to process a first record of communications between a first service representative (SR) and a first individual during a first service session to generate one or more predicted survey scores that rate the first service session on one or more criteria, wherein the training is conducted using training data comprising, for each of one or more previous service sessions, a respective previous record of the previous service session and a respective set of one or more actual survey scores provided by a serviced individual to rate the previous service session on the one or more criteria;

receiving, by at least one processor, a second record of communications between a second service representative (SR) and a second individual during a second service session;

processing, using the trained neural network, the second record to determine one or more new predicted survey scores that rate the second service session, wherein the trained neural network comprises a language neural network model and an acoustic neural network model, and wherein the trained neural network comprises different neurons, each neuron corresponding to a respective criterion of the one or more criteria;

associating, by at least one processor, the one or more new predicted survey scores with the second individual; and

communicating, by at least one processor, the one or more new predicted survey scores for presentation through a user interface of a computing device.

7. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 6 , wherein:

the second service session is an audio call between the SR and the individual; and

the second record includes an audio record of at least a portion of the audio call.

8. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 6 , wherein:

the respective previous service session is an audio call; and

the respective previous record includes an audio record of at least a portion of the audio call.

9. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

updating the second individual's requirements based on a metric; and

selecting another service representative to interact with the second individual on a subsequent service session based in part on the updated requirements.

10. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a request for a service session from a third individual;

identifying a fourth individual similar to the third individual; and

connecting the third individual with another service representative, where the other service representative is selected, at least in part, based on metrics associated with the fourth individual.

11. A system comprising: one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

training a neural network to process a first record of communications between a first service representative (SR) and a first individual during a first service session to generate one or more predicted survey scores that rate the first service session on one or more criteria, wherein the training is conducted using training data comprising, for each of one or more previous service sessions, a respective previous record of the previous service session and a respective set of one or more actual survey scores provided by a serviced individual to rate the previous service session on the one or more criteria;

receiving, by at least one processor, a second record of communications between a second service representative (SR) and a second individual during a second service session;

processing, using the trained neural network, the second record to determine one or more new predicted survey scores that rate the second service session, wherein the trained neural network comprises a language neural network model and an acoustic neural network model, and wherein the trained neural network comprises different neurons, each neuron corresponding to a respective criterion of the one or more criteria;

associating, by at least one processor, the one or more new predicted survey scores with the second individual; and

communicating, by at least one processor, the one or more new predicted survey scores for presentation through a user interface of a computing device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the second service session is an audio call between the SR and the individual; and

the second record includes an audio record of at least a portion of the audio call.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the respective previous service session is an audio call; and

the respective previous record includes an audio record of at least a portion of the audio call.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

updating the second individual's requirements based on a metric; and

selecting another service representative to interact with the second individual on a subsequent service session based in part on the updated requirements.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a request for a service session from a third individual;

identifying a fourth individual similar to the third individual; and

connecting the third individual with another service representative, where the other service representative is selected, at least in part, based on metrics associated with the fourth individual.
