How the AIDA Inference Engine Works
Semantic Concept Model
Machine learning trained models
Semantic Concept Model
The model defines the concepts including the high
level business concepts
The model contains the relationship between
concepts including the dependencies
Defines concepts and meaning
Defines relationships between concepts
Semantic model capabilities reasoning
BBN probabilistic model
Recommendation model ( Future)
Other Machine learning algorithms
Inference
When an event occurs the event handler rule fires for that event
Evaluates the event message
Evaluates the existing ontology
Determines which semantic instances to create or update
Inference
Engine
and
Business
Rules
When any data changes, the inference engine fires in a “When Then” style of computing, updating all “Automatic” concepts.
Custom concept rules are fired if necessary. This creates a chain
of updates
Bayesian
Belief
Network
When a “on demand” concept is needed the inference engine
finds and computes all of the dependant concepts
Business policy Rules

Event
Create semantic concepts from events
Concept
Action
Define a custom business concept
A set of custom rules actioning business policy
Information Security Level 1 – Confidential
Machine learning
When a concept is dependent on “machine learned”
information the inference engine manages the invocation and
timing of interfacing

How Guided Interaction Advisor Reduces AHT
Example
* In addition to displaying the bill, GIA returns multiple “next”
actions such as dispute charge, adjust the fee, make payment
depending on high level concepts and policy
GIA Looks at events including bill sent event
Finds abnormal fee – Returned Check
Probability that the call is motivated by fee vs. other issues
Compute High-level concepts
Examine company policy for treating this customer
Determine actions for each probable issues
