Abstract

Organizations have always encountered the challenge of devising ways to create personalized connections with their constituents. This is true for retailers dealing with their customers, educational institutions engaging with their students or hospital systems caring for their patients. Segmentation strategies based on demographics and such static attributes have proved to be quite ineffective in developing the empathic relationship that they desire. In this talk, I will present an AI platform that enables organizations to understand their constituents’ individual mindsets and empowers them to structure and deploy engagement strategies tailored to these mindsets. The talk will focus primarily on the mathematical foundation of this learning platform, which combines the applications of Evidence Theory and Inference Graphs. I will also present some case studies that highlight successful outcomes that organizations have achieved through the use of this platform.
