• Abstract: Customers are rapidly turning to social media for customer support. While brand agents on these platforms are motivated and well-intentioned to help and engage with customers, their efforts are often ignored if their initial response to the customer does not match a specific tone, style, or topic the customer is aiming to receive. The length of a conversation can reflect the effort and quality of the initial response made by a brand toward collaborating and helping consumers, even when the overall sentiment of the conversation might not be very positive. Thus, through this study, we aim to bridge this critical gap in the existing literature by analyzing language's content and stylistic aspects such as expressed empathy, psycho-linguistic features, dialogue tags, and metrics for quantifying personalization of the utterances that can influence the engagement of an interaction. This paper demonstrates that we can predict engagement using initial customer and brand posts.

  PsyChat is a client-centric dialogue system that provides psychological support through online chat. It comprises five modules: client behavior recognition, counselor strategy selection, input packer, response generator, and response selection. Case study demonstrates that the dialogue system can predict the client's behaviors, select appropriate counselor strategies, and generate accurate and suitable responses.

• Proactive Detractor Detection Framework Based on Message-Wise Sentiment Analysis Over Customer Support Interactions [60.87845704495664]
  We propose a framework relying solely on chat-based customer support interactions for predicting the recommendation decision of individual users. For our case study, we analyzed a total number of 16.4k users and 48.7k customer support conversations within the financial vertical of a large e-commerce company in Latin America. Our results show that, with respective feature interpretability, it is possible to predict the likelihood of a user to recommend a product or service, based solely on the message-wise sentiment evolution of their CS conversations in a fully automated way.

  Social language used by human agents is associated with greater users' responsiveness and task completion. The model uses a sequence-to-sequence deep learning architecture, extended with a social language understanding element. Evaluation in terms of content preservation and social language level using both human judgment and automatic linguistic measures shows that the model can generate responses that enable agents to address users' issues in a more socially appropriate way.

  In a customer service system, dialogue summarization can boost service efficiency by creating summaries for long spoken dialogues. In this work, we focus on topic-oriented dialogue summarization, which generates highly abstractive summaries. We propose a novel topic-augmented two-stage dialogue summarizer ( TDS) jointly with a saliency-aware neural topic model (SATM) for topic-oriented summarization of customer service dialogues.
