• Abstract summary: Customer experience plays a critical role for a profitable organisation or company. One way to improve customer experience is to optimize the functionality of its call center. We formulate the customer-agent pairing problem as a machine learning problem. A proposed learning-based method causes a significant improvement in performance of about $215%$ compared to a rule-based method.

• Abstract: Customer experience plays a critical role for a profitable organisation or company. A satisfied customer for a company corresponds to higher rates of customer retention, and better representation in the market. One way to improve customer experience is to optimize the functionality of its call center. In this work, we have collaborated with the largest provider of telecommunications and Internet access in the country, and we formulate the customer-agent pairing problem as a machine learning problem. The proposed learning-based method causes a significant improvement in performance of about $215\%$ compared to a rule-based method.

  We propose a novel client selection strategy designed to emulate the performance achieved with full client participation. In a single round, we select clients by minimizing the gradient-space estimation error between the client subset and the full client set. In multi-round selection, we introduce a novel individual fairness constraint, which ensures that clients with similar data distributions have similar frequencies of being selected.
