We have leveraged several modules to solve core problems. These include Event Tree Module, Markov Chain Module, and Nodal Analysis

Taxonomy auto-clustering for Support Tickets

Enabled Capabilities

HDInsights & Machine Learning, NLP + Text Mining. Supervised training for classification.

Outcome

  • Eliminated 95% of human interventions.
  • Taxonomy auto creation.
  • Saved 2 business days to for each customer support ticket life.
  • Increased customer support efficiency and saved $$ per each ticket.

Customer

Impact Created

95% of Customer Support cases are auto clustered and created with right taxonomies without human intervention. Cost savings and support efficiency increased.

Summary

C2S Analytics team helped an IT giant Microsoft instrumentally to address auto clustering the customer support cases by leveraging the Machine Learning and NLP techniques, initially we loaded significant amount of training data to train the machine learning modules to get the accuracy to 95%.

Challenge

Microsoft receives customer support related enquiries from various channels in the form of calls, blogs, auto generated text files, or online. Microsoft support team manually assess each case and moves these cases to respective taxonomy bucket for a resolution. There is a huge delay to resolve these tickets since manual intervention. Hence Microsoft decided to auto cluster these cases to speed up to improve customer support.

Approach

C2S Technologies together worked with Microsoft to solve client problem in three approaches.

Phase I

During phase I, we treated this project as POC to gain the customer confidence to make sure whether we have right tools, right team, and right knowledge to solve customer problems using one taxonomy data. This phase we exhibited our Machine Learning techniques and NLP techniques to map a case to new taxonomy or existing taxonomy.

Phase II

We increased accuracy from 70% to 85% by leveraging more training data, this proved us that our algorithms were working right.

Phase III

We have built a front end tools with rich user experience by integrating Machine Learning algorithms.
