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. The system includes a scorecard interface operable to select a target and an indication of the metric control to apply for the target, and to apply the metric control to generate and display a historical performance visualization and a performance feed of the metric for the target.

Claims (44)

heuristic logic configured to transform the call classifiers into a plurality of weighted sub-metrics for the call;

aggregate normalized Gaussian logic to transform the weighted sub-metrics into a metric control, the metric control applied as feedback to adapt control logic of the communication system; and

the scorecard interface operable to select a target and an indication of the metric control to apply for the target, and to apply the metric control to generate and display a historical performance visualization and a performance feed of the metric for the target.

2. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the historical performance visualization comprises a selection control for either a time series visualization or a histogram visualization.

3. The communication system of claim 2 , wherein the historical performance visualization comprises:

a composite comparative visualization for the target and comparable target.

4. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the performance feed comprises:

a time series visualization of a selectable event for the target.

5. The communication system of claim 1 , wherein the target comprises one of an agent, a team, and a site.

6. The communication system of claim 1 , the scorecard interface further comprising a control to select a time interval to apply to generation of the historical performance visualization and the performance feed.

7. A method comprising:

operating at least one machine learning model to generate call classifiers from outputs of an audio signal processor and a natural language processor to operate on the call;

applying an aggregate normalized Gaussian transform on the weighted sub-metrics to generate a metric control, the metric control applied as feedback to adapt control logic of a communication system; and

operating a scorecard interface to select a target and an indication of the metric control to apply for the target, and to apply the metric control to generate and display a historical performance visualization and a performance feed of the metric for the target.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the historical performance visualization comprises a selection control for either a time series visualization or a histogram visualization.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the historical performance visualization comprises:

a composite comparative visualization for the target and comparable target.
