The NLP Insights helps you gain in-depth insights into the analytics data and assess your virtual assistant’s performance in identifying and executing tasks. You can improve your VA’s performance based on the insights. The Analyze > NLP Insights page shows the specific information in the following sections:

•  Intent Found: Number of identified intents
•  Intent Not Found: Number of unidentified intents
• Unhandled Utterances: Number of unhandled utterances
• Failed Task: Number of unsuccessful tasks
• Performance: Monitor all the scripts and API services and capture the number of failed services or scripts during the interactions
• Pinned: Pinned NLP Insight records. Specific records are pinned to highlight them for easy access and viewing.
• Debug Log: Custom Debug logs include user conversations from across all channels, for analyzing your VA.

Intent Found

An intent refers to the goal the customer has in mind when typing in a question or comment. The  phrases used to express the intent are called user utterances. The Intent Found tab includes all the user utterances identified by the platform. 

See the following table and Features section to know more.

The following is an example of Intent Found:

User: I want to know my order confirmation

VA: Would you like to switch to Track Order

User: Yes

VA: Lets log you in.
      How would you like to go ahead – Log in or Guest?

In the above conversation, the user utterance of ‘knowing the order confirmation status’ is recognized by the VA and successfully mapped to the Track Order intent.

Description of the Intent Found Fields

The following table lists the fields on the Intent Fount tab with descriptions:

Fields	Description
Utterances	The utterances that are identified by the VA. The details on the tab are grouped by utterances based on the similarity, by default. To turn off grouping by utterance, click the Utterances header and disable the Group by Utterances option.
Intent	The intent/task that is identified. The details on the tab can be grouped by intents. By default, the  Group by Intent option is turned off. To turn it on, click the Intent header and enable the Group by Intent option.
Traits	All the traits that are identified for the listed utterances. The details on the tab can be grouped by traits. By default, the  Group by Traits option is turned off. To turn it on, click the Traits header and enable the Group by Traits option. This information is available for the data generated after June 1, 2021.
UserID	The UserID of the end user related to the conversation. You can view the metrics based on either Kore User id or Channel User Id. Channel-specific ids are shown only for the users who have interacted with the VA during the selected period.
Language	The language in which the conversation occurred. If it is a multi-lingual VA, you can select specific languages to filter the conversation that occurred in those languages. The page shows the conversations that occurred in all enabled languages by default.
Date & Time	The date and time of the chat. You can sort the data by either Newest to Oldest or Oldest to Newest.

Intent Not Found

Intent Not Found includes all the user utterances that the platform is not able to identify with a dialog task or FAQ either due to invalid training, less training data or the intent unavailability in the virtual assistant.

See  the following table and Features section to know more.

Example of Intent Not Found: 

User: I want to know my account statement

VA: I’ m sorry, I did not recognize the value you have entered. Please select a value from the list.

In the above conversation, the VA does not recognize the user utterance of ‘knowing the account statement’. It could be due to invalid training, less training, or unavailability of intents in the virtual assistant.

Description of Intent Not Found Fields

The following table lists the fields on the Intent Not Found tab with descriptions:

Fields	Description
Utterances	The utterances that are not identified by the VA. The details on the tab are grouped by utterances based on the similarity, by default. To turn off grouping by utterance, click the Utterances header and disable the Group by Utterances option.
Traits	All the traits that are identified for the listed utterances. The details on the tab can be grouped by traits. By default, the  Group by Traits option is turned off. To turn it on, click the Traits header and enable the Group by Traits option. This information is available for data  generated after June 1, 2021.
UserID	The UserID of the end user related to the conversation. You can view the metrics based on either Kore User id or Channel User Id. Channel-specific ids are shown only for the users who have interacted with the VA during the selected period.

Unhandled Utterances

The Unhandled Utterances help analyze  the unidentified inputs received from the users during a task execution at an entity node, message node, or confirmation node. These insights allow you to identify the need for additional training or new intents and enhance the existing NLU model of the VAs.

In an unhandled utterance, the following new fields are available:

• Prompt Type – A prompt type could be either an Entity node, Message node, or a Confirmation node.
• Node Name – Name of the node in which the utterance is not handled
• Task Name – Name of the task in which the utterances are unidentified on an entity, message, or confirmation nodes.

• Group by functionality is available for Utterances, Traits, Prompt Type, Task Name, and Node Name

See the following table and Features section to know more..

Unhandled Utterance Examples

The following examples show the conversations between the VA and user, with unhandled utterances captured at Entity, Message, and Confirmation nodes.

At an Entity Node:

For example, when the user provides an invalid input at entity or confirmation nodes as follows:

User: I want my account statement

VA: Please enter your Customer Id

User: Where do I find it?

VA: Sorry, that is an incorrect input. Please enter your Customer Id

In the above conversation, if the VA doesn’t recognize “where to find customer id” as an intent or entity, then this utterance is  categorized under Unhandled Utterances.

At a Message Node:

For example, when the user provides an invalid input at a message node as follows:

User: I want to book a flight for today

VA: Enter the flight number
            User: 12434
            VA: Enter number of seats required
            User: 3
            VA: Your flight is booked. Would you like to:
                    1. Book a Hotel
                    2. Book a sightseeing tour
            User: I want to Cancel the Flight
            VA: I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Please enter again.

In the above conversation, if the VA doesn’t recognize the intent name “cancel flight” as an input at the message node. The intent identification fails and the utterance is categorized under Unhandled Utterances.

At Confirmation Node:

For example, when the user provides an invalid input at a confirmation node as follows:

VA: How may I help you

User: I want to book a flight

VA: Enter the number of seats

User: 2

VA: Please confirm if you want two seats

User: I want to hire a cab

VA: I cannot understand it, can you rephrase it

In the above conversation, when a user enters ‘I want to hire a cab’ at the confirmation node, it is not recognized and logged under Unhandled Utterances.
