Abstract
In a crowd sourcing approach, responses to customer service inquiries are provided by routing a subset of the inquiries to an independent group of experts. The customer service inquiries are optionally routed to specific experts based on matches between identified subject matter of the inquiries and expertise of the experts. Embodiments include methods of classifying customer service inquiries, training a machine learning system, and/or processing customer service inquiries. Customer service inquiries and answers from a first enterprise and/or industry are optionally used to train an inquiry classifier for a second enterprise and/or industry. The classifier being configured to predict if a new customer service inquiry will require access to confidential information for a human to generate an answer that resolves the inquiry.
