Topic miner overview

PrerequisitesClick to expand

Topic miner analyzes voice and digital transcripts to discover topics and phrases of interest within a conversation. You can then use those topics and phrases to create topics in the topic miner. You can add mined topics into Genesys Cloud > Quality Admin > Topics for topic configuration. Topic mining is especially useful to workforce engagement management users. For more information, see Work with a topic, About programs, topics, and phrases, and Create topics from a completed miner.

What are topics?

Topics are collections of phrases that indicate a business-level intent. The Topics page provides lists and descriptions of topics, and the number of phrases related to a topic. For example, a topic called “Attorney or lawyer” with the description of “phrases about legal actions” and 25 related phrases.

For another example, to identify interactions in which the customer seeks to cancel a service, create a topic named Cancellation with some phrases, including “close out my account,” “I wish to cancel,” and so forth. In addition, topics help to boost the recognition of specific words and phrases in voice transcription and in the interaction overview, as they adapt the underlying language model to look for organization-specific language in conversations.
