Abstract:

Embodiments herein provide data clustering and user modeling for next-best-action decisions. Specifically, a modeling tool is configured to: receive indicators within unstructured social data from a plurality of users; analyze the unstructured social data of each of the plurality of users to assign a set of feature vectors to each of the plurality of users, each feature vector corresponding to one or more personality characteristics of each of the plurality of users; and analyze the feature vectors to identify two or more users from the plurality of users sharing a set of similar feature vectors. The modeling tool is further configured to: group the two or more users from the plurality of users sharing the set of similar feature vectors to form a cluster; identify attributes of the cluster; and input the attributes of the cluster into a predictive model to determine an offer corresponding to the cluster.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 732

Abstract:

A method and system for analyzing customer feedback is provided. The method includes accessing a keyword and word mapping database and receiving consumer feedback data associated with a product or service. The consumer feedback data includes feedback data groups. Each group is divided into segments based on word analysis. Each segment is analyzed with respect to the keyword and thesaurus database. A score is generated for each segment and a composite score is generated for each feedback data group. Each composite score is stored.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

US Classification:

705 723

Abstract:

A computer system identifies an individual physically present at a location. With the individual's identity, the computer system retrieves information corresponding to the individual from one or more online sources. Based, at least in part, on the retrieved information, the computer system determines a sales approach specific to the individual. The computer system communicates the sales approach to a computing device capable of displaying the sales approach to a user.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

US Classification:

705 1458

Abstract:

Embodiments herein provide geospatial-temporal next-best-action decisions. Specifically, a predictive modeling tool is configured to receive, from a user, a first instance of unstructured data, the unstructured data containing an indicator of a transacting opportunity, and generate a profile for the user by combining the unstructured data with structured data, the profile including personality characteristics and identifying information of the user. The profile is used to identify the user as a producer of a second instance of unstructured data by comparing the personality characteristics and identifying information of the user to the second instance of unstructured data. A commercial offer is then generated based on information from the profile of the user and at least one of the first instance of unstructured data or the second instance of unstructured data, and the offer is communicated to the user when the user is located within a predetermined proximity to a retailer.
