Interaction support (chatbots, virtual assistants and others), Target-focused optimization, Recognition, Prediction

Main results to June 30, 2021

More than 106,000 tickets were processed, with an accuracy of 91% for classification by Group and 69% by Site.

Three main bottlenecks faced during implementation

  1. Pre-processing of text data.
  2. IT capacity for model training
  3. Interoperability with the ticketing system.

Lessons learned in the design or use of AI for social impact

Data quality is of utmost importance.
