Abstract
The system obtains a set of tickets representing customer requests for a customer-support ticketing system. Next, the system produces a set of request vectors by feeding words from each ticket through a model to generate a request vector for the ticket, wherein the set of request vectors is represented as a set of points in a vector space. The system then performs a clustering operation on the set of points to form clusters representing support topics, wherein the clustering operation creates a new point for a new ticket in the vector space when the new ticket is received, and incrementally updates existing clusters to accommodate the new point. Finally, the system presents a user interface to a customer-support agent, wherein the user interface uses the support topics to organize the customer requests, and enables the customer-support agent to perform a customer-support operation in response to a customer request.
