Title: Co-creating contact center dialogue data – collaboration of humans and language models
Authors: Takumi Ito, Kaori Abe, Masatoshi Hidaka (MLS), Kenichi Noda, Yuichi Iwasa (transcosmos)
Abstract: Despite the importance of natural language processing for automating and streamlining customer service operations at contact centers, available data for research purposes is limited due to data privacy, copyright, etc. We conducted research to create knowledge and dialogue data that is necessary when responding to user inquiries received, assuming a home appliance manufacture. In the research, we examined the feasibility of collaboration between humans and large language models to co-create data, with a particular focus on the effectiveness of this approach as well as the feasibility of collecting data on an ongoing basis for practical use. We have created 461 knowledge and 2,308 dialogue pieces of data to validate the approach.
