Data MeetUp Twente Is Back

This event will be hosted by Nerds&Company and will include 2 talks:

1. Improving Helpdesk Efficiency: Classifying Customer Support Tickets - Jan Trienes (University of Twente / Nedap)

Customer support is an essential part of every company to ensure customer satisfaction and retention. As a product scales, increasing amounts of inquiries have to be handled by support agents which is a time-consuming, repetitive and error-prone task. In this talk, we will look at how we can automatically assign a new customer inquiry to an existing answer template using natural language processing and multi-class classification techniques.
