Abstract:
A clustering-based approach to data standardization is provided. Certain embodiments take as input a plurality of addresses, identify one or more features of the addresses, cluster the addresses based on the one or more features, utilize the cluster(s) to provide a data-based context useful in identifying one or more synonyms for elements contained in the address(es), and standardize the address(es) to an acceptable format, with one or more synonyms and/or other elements being added to or taken away from the input address(es) as part of the standardization process.
Abstract:
Sentence boundaries in noisy conversational transcription data are automatically identified. Noise and transcription symbols are removed, and a training set is formed with sentence boundaries marked based on long silences or on manual markings in the transcribed data. Frequencies of head and tail n-grams that occur at the beginning and ending of sentences are determined from the training set. N-grams that occur a significant number of times in the middle of sentences in relation to their occurrences at the beginning or ending of sentences are filtered out. A boundary is marked before every head n-gram and after every tail n-gram occurring in the conversational data and remaining after filtering. Turns are identified. A boundary is marked after each turn, unless the turn ends with an impermissible tail word or is an incomplete turn. The marked boundaries in the conversational data identify sentence boundaries.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system controls cleansing of data within a database system, and comprises a computer system including at least one processor. The system receives a data set from the database system, and one or more features of the data set are selected for determining values for one or more characteristics of the selected features. The determined values are applied to a data quality estimation model to determine data quality estimates for the data set. Problematic data within the data set are identified based on the data quality estimates, where the cleansing is adjusted to accommodate the identified problematic data. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for controlling cleansing of data within a database system in substantially the same manner described above.
Abstract:
A method is provided for forming discrete segment clusters of one or more sequential sentences from a corpus of communication transcripts of transactional communications that comprises dividing the communication transcripts of the corpus into a first set of sentences spoken by a caller and a second set of sentences spoken by a responder; generating a set of sentence clusters by grouping the first and second sets of sentences according to a measure of lexical similarity using an unsupervised partitional clustering method; generating a collection of sequences of sentence types by assigning a distinct sentence type to each sentence cluster and representing each sentence of each communication transcript of the corpus with the sentence type assigned to the sentence cluster into which the sentence is grouped; and generating a specified number of discrete segment clusters by successively merging sentence clusters according to a proximity-based measure between the sentence types assigned to the sentence clusters within sequences of the collection.
Abstract:
Computer program products and systems are provided for mining for sub-patterns within a text data set. The embodiments facilitate finding a set of N frequently occurring sub-patterns within the data set, extracting the N sub-patterns from the data set, and clustering the extracted sub-patterns into K groups, where each extracted sub-pattern is placed within the same group with other extracted sub-patterns based upon a distance value D that determines a degree of similarity between the sub-pattern and every other sub-pattern within the same group.
Abstract:
A method, a system and a computer program product for analyzing customer service quality is disclosed. A plurality of customer call service quality parameters is identified using historical data. The plurality of customer call service quality parameters is quantified and correlated. The customer service quality is analyzed using the plurality of customer call service quality parameters. A repository is generated using the historical data of a plurality of customer calls and a set of pre-defined customer call flow templates. A subset of service quality queries is identified using contextual information of the customer call from the repository of service quality queries. The subset of service quality queries is then interspersed in the customer call. The customer service quality is analyzed using responses to the subset of service quality queries.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer products for optimally managing large rule sets are disclosed. Rule dependencies of rules within a set of rules may be determined as a function of rules execution frequency data generated from applying the rules over a data set. The rules within the set of rules may be clustered into rules clusters based on the determined rule dependencies, in which the rules clusters comprise disjoint subsets of the rules within the set of rules. Cluster frequency data for the rules clusters may be used to arrive at an optimal ordering. Each rule within the set of rules may be assigned a unique identification that may capture an execution order of the rules within the set of rules.
