Create topics from a completed miner

After you add a new topic mining session and the mining completes, click it to review the results. The results show the topics that the topic miner derived from the conversation transcripts, and the percentage of total conversations within that topic. For each mined topic, the results display the following metrics:

  • The percentage of total conversations that include the topic
  • The number of conversations that include the topic
  • The number of sentences, comprised of one turn from the agent or the customer, that include the topic
  • The number of segments or phrases within a conversation that include the topic

The following example shows data for the “exchange rate” topic in the Silver Springs Ski Resort miner:

Mined topics

In this example, the topic miner mined two topics. The topic “exchange rate” appeared in 21.74% of the total conversations. The topic appeared in five conversations and in five sentences from either the agent or the customer, and the phrase was used five times. 

To view the associated phrases, click a topic in the mined topics column. You can select the phrase that you want to import to your new or existing topic, and then view the list in the Topics column.

In the topics list, a mark indicates a published topic. A draft mark indicates a draft topic.
