Separate pattern matching algorithms and computer models based on available caller data

摘要

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for routing callers to agents in a contact center. Exemplary methods and system include using one of a plurality of different computer models for matching callers to agents, the model selected based on a degree and/or type of caller data available. The models may include queue routing, performance based matching, adaptive pattern matching algorithms, or other computer models for matching callers to agents. In one example, similar adaptive models may be used for two or more different degrees/types of caller data, but are trained differently, e.g., based on the degree/type of caller data. Different models for routing callers to agents may perform differently for different degrees/types of caller data. Further, training correlation or adaptive pattern matching algorithms based on different degrees/types of caller data may improve their respective performance compared to a single algorithm for all degrees/types of caller data.
