Solution Overview

Problem

Contact centers face challenges in efficiently analyzing large volumes of unstructured textual data from customer-agent interactions, which are noisy and time-consuming, making it difficult to derive operational insights for performance improvement.

Innovation Solution

A method using large language models (LLM) to generate a hierarchical taxonomy by processing conversation data, including generating insights, category names, and assignments, and grouping them to create a visual representation for user interface display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional methods are used to analyze unstructured textual data from customer-agent interactions, then comprehensive analysis can be performed, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis efficiencyVSAvoidtime to derive operational insights
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical text analysis methods with a large language model (LLM)-based automated system. The LLM processes unstructured conversation data, generates insights, creates hierarchical taxonomies, and identifies operational issues without manual intervention, dramatically improving analysis efficiency while reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If manual analysis of conversation data is performed, then detailed insights can be obtained, but the process becomes costly and slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational insightsVSAvoidtime to process interaction data
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service analysis where the LLM automatically processes conversation data, generates insights, creates taxonomies, and identifies operational issues without requiring manual analysis. The automated system serves itself to extract and organize information from unstructured data, maintaining comprehensive insight generation while eliminating time-consuming manual processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If comprehensive taxonomy analysis is performed on all interaction data, then complete operational visibility is achieved, but the complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupervisor awareness of emerging issuesVSAvoidsystem complexity for processing and organizing data
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the analysis process into distinct hierarchical levels: conversation data is first processed to generate individual insights, then insights are organized into taxonomic categories, and finally structured into a hierarchical taxonomy. This segmentation allows comprehensive analysis to be performed in manageable stages, reducing system complexity while maintaining complete operational visibility and reliable supervisor awareness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method for generating a hierarchical taxonomy relating to an interaction aspect from conversation data. The method includes a first process for generating insights that includes: receiving conversation data for a first interaction; determining a conversation portion relevant to the interaction aspect and a question prompt and providing them as inputs to an LLM; and generating responsive output text via the LLM as the first insight. In a second process, inputs are provided to the LLM that include the insights, a first instruction to generate category names based on the insights, and a second instruction to make a category assignment for each insight. The second process further includes receiving from the LLM the generated category names and category assignments; grouping the insights by those having the same category assignment; and generating a hierarchical taxonomy according to the groupings.
