Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional customer relationship management (CRM) systems are ineffective in managing large volumes of user feedback data, leading to misclassification and data inconsistencies, which hinders the service provider's ability to understand user issues and improve products or services effectively.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a machine learning-based user feedback auditing tool that applies various machine learning models to reclassify user communications, using techniques such as data preprocessing, feature extraction, semantic analysis, clustering, and supervised learning to generate a more accurate second set of feedback categories.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual classification by customer service agents is used, then human judgment and context understanding are applied, but classification errors and data inconsistencies occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoiddata consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical classification process with an automated machine learning-based classification system. The system uses trained ML models to automatically classify user feedback data, eliminating human error and inconsistency while maintaining high accuracy through algorithmic decision-making and continuous model training.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The classification system performs self-service by automatically processing and classifying user feedback without requiring manual intervention. The ML models continuously learn from new data and automatically adjust classification patterns, enabling the system to serve itself and improve over time without human retraining.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If conventional CRM systems are used to manage large volumes of user feedback, then existing infrastructure is leveraged, but the systems are ineffective and cannot process the data volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capacityVSAvoideffectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the processing capability by changing the fundamental parameter of how data is analyzed - moving from manual text processing to machine learning-based semantic analysis. This parameter change enables the system to handle large volumes of unstructured feedback data efficiently while maintaining high classification accuracy and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces conventional CRM manual processing mechanisms with automated ML-based processing. The trained machine learning models automatically ingest, analyze, and classify large volumes of user feedback data, dramatically increasing productivity while ensuring consistent and reliable classification results.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual classification is used, then flexibility in handling diverse feedback types is maintained, but misclassification errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandling diverse feedbackVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:

AI summary

Methods and systems are presented for auditing user feedback data corresponding to user communications received via at least one interface of a service provider. The user feedback data includes a first set of feedback categories associated with a first classification of the user communications. A first feature representation of the communications is generated from the user feedback data. The first feature representation includes a first set of textual data features extracted from the communications. A second feature representation is generated from the first feature representation using a first machine learning model. The second feature representation includes a second set of textual data features including semantic equivalents of the first set of features. A second machine learning model is trained with the second feature representation. A second classification of the user communications according to a second set of feedback categories is generated using the trained second machine learning model.
