System and method for voice of the customer integration into insightful dimensional clustering
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for identifying a segment of a population having a target behavior within a larger population within a data space using customer contact center analytics, the method using a clustering algorithm, said method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of dimensions to be used in the clustering algorithm;
creating a plurality of category mentions for categorizing contact with a customer contact center;
recording interactions within a segment of population that contacts the customer contact center;
categorizing the interactions into the plurality of category mentions based upon predetermined words;
sorting the plurality of category mentions to identify one or more highly mentioned interaction categories;
narrowing the number of dimensions to be used in the clustering algorithm from a plurality of dimensions to a set of initial dimensions based upon at least one of the plurality of category mentions;
defining a tag from exemplar data within the data space from the population having a known behavior;
refining the tag based upon insights from at least one of the plurality of category mentions;
segmenting the population within the data space into clusters using the clustering algorithm;
analyzing the resulting clusters for a high tag concentration; and
displaying the resulting clusters.

Abstract
A computer implemented method utilizing Insightful Dimensional Clustering (IDC) to extrapolate characteristics of subscribers that contact customer care to the entire subscriber base is disclosed. The combination of interaction content and IDC results in the spread of rich interaction characteristics to the entire subscriber base resulting in groupings of subscribers with similar characteristics including behavior, preferences, complaints, churn propensities, and pertinent retention offers.

6. A computer implemented method for identifying one or more customers having a target behavior within a larger population of customers within a telecommunication carrier data space using customer contact center analytics, the method using a clustering algorithm, said method comprising:
-
identifying a plurality of dimensions to be used in the clustering algorithm from a plurality of transactional variables within a transactional database; creating a plurality of category mentions for categorizing contact with a customer contact center; recording interactions with a plurality of customers that contact the customer contact center; categorizing the interactions with the plurality of customers that contact the customer contact center into the plurality of category mentions based upon predetermined words; sorting the plurality of category mentions to identify one or more highly mentioned interaction categories; narrowing the number of dimensions to be used in the clustering algorithm from the plurality of dimensions to a set of initial dimensions using the transactional variables related to the highly mentioned interaction categories; defining the tag from the highly mentioned interaction categories; segmenting the population of customers within the data space into clusters using the clustering algorithm; analyzing the resulting clusters for a high tag concentration so as to identify dimensions having a defined variance to the tag; and displaying the resulting clusters. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
