CallAssist: Helping Call Center Agents in Preference Elicitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The increasing complexity of products and services being offered by businesses has made providing customers with easy access to technical assistance an important business function. Therefore, most businesses operate call centers to respond to product related queries from consumers. An emerging model is to let a third-party to run the contact center for a business. Preference elicitation the process of asking queries to determine preferences is a key function performed by call-center agents. In this paper, our focus is on helping call-center agents to efficiently elicit customer’s preference.

User-Involved Preference Elicitation
When searching for configurable products, helping users to state their preferences is a crucial task. It involves helping users to understand the space of feasible configurations to decide on realistic preferences. However, many computer tools do not afford users to adequately focus on fundamental decision objectives, reveal hidden preferences, revise conflicting preferences, or explicitly reas...
متن کاملGeneralizing Preference Elicitation in Combinatorial Auctions
Combinatorial auctions where agents can bid on bundles of items are desirable because they allow the agents to express complementarity and substitutability between the items. However, expressing one’s preferences can require bidding on all bundles. Selective incremental preference elicitation by the auctioneer was recently proposed to address this problem but the idea was not evaluated. In this...

متن کاملTowards Cooperative Negotiation for Decentralized Resource Allocation in Autonomic Computing Systems
Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and describe a promising approach that employs preference elicitation. 1 Resource Allocation in an Autonomic
متن کاملComplexity Issues in Preference Elicitation and Manipulation
Complexity theory is a useful tool to study computational issues surrounding the elicitation of preferences, as well as the strategic manipulation of elections aggregating together preferences of multiple agents. We study here the complexity of determining when we can terminate eliciting preferences, and prove that the complexity depends on the elicitation strategy. We show, for instance, that ...
