Creating training data manually for an IVA
Ensure that Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant™ (IVA) interprets chat messages from users in the correct way by manually creating training records from which the system can learn. Training records provide valuable information for the IVA that strengthens the artificial intelligence algorithms and improves the accuracy of your text analytics model. By training the model, you ensure that the system correctly detects topics and entities, the subject matter and other vital information extracted from the chat conversation.
For example, you can add a training record in which customers request bank loans. If you connect that record to a bank loan topic, the system learns to associate this information with bank loan cases.You review the training data before applying the changes to the text analytics model.
