How ChatGPT Became the Customer Experience Hero for Leading Enterprises
Natural language processing (NLP) has taken customer service to a new level. With the rise of chatbots powered by deep learning models like GPT, companies can now provide their customers with quick and efficient service. These chatbots can understand natural language queries and respond in a human-like manner, making them an effective tool for improving customer experience.
- Salesforce, a cloud-based software company, has partnered with ChatGPT and launched its tool, Einstein GPT. The tool is based on OpenAI’s chatbot and is designed to be the first generative AI for Salesforce’s customer relationship management (CRM) tools. Its functions include email composition, meeting scheduling, personalized customer chat replies, customer insights, and other related tasks.
- Duolingo, a well-known language-learning app, has introduced a new subscription service named Duolingo Max. The service uses GPT-4 technology to provide personalized lessons and allow users to ask questions such as “Explain my answer” and “Roleplay.” This feature aims to improve the learning experience and make it easier for users to learn a new language.
- Microsoft integrated ChatGPT, specifically the latest version GPT-4, into its Bing Chat service, which is available on the newest version of Microsoft Edge. Bing Chat responds quickly to user queries, similar to how ChatGPT works.
ChatGPT has revolutionized the way we interact with customer service. Using natural language processing technology, chatbots powered by ChatGPT can understand and respond to customer queries quickly and efficiently, which can significantly impact customer satisfaction. As this technology advances, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of ChatGPT in customer service and experience.
A Summary of Gramener’s Gen AI-based Sentiment Analysis Project
Numerous methods exist for analyzing sentiments, but this time, we employed advanced LLM models to interpret customer emotions for a prominent global soft beverage manufacturer.
By delving deeper into the data, these models can recognize feelings like joy, dissatisfaction, and astonishment. This valuable emotional insight plays a crucial role in helping businesses comprehend their audience, enabling the creation of products and services that genuinely connect with customers.
Our new article talks more about the top generative AI projects we are doing right now and how it is helping our clients. Do check it out.
How to Train a ChatGPT Model for Sentiment Analysis
Let’s learn how to train a sentiment analysis model with ChatGPT! ChatGPT is a great choice for this task because it can understand and interpret human language accurately.
Traditional sentiment analysis methods rely on keyword matching or rule-based systems, which can lead to incomplete or inaccurate results. But ChatGPT uses deep learning algorithms to analyze text at a deeper level, considering not only individual words but also the context in which they are used. So, let’s follow these six steps to train ChatGPT with a sentiment analysis model.
Step 1: Data Collection
First, you need a large dataset of text data containing sentiment. This could be customer reviews, social media posts, or any other type of text that expresses sentiment. You can collect data from popular review sites like Yelp, Amazon, or TripAdvisor.
Step 2: Data Preprocessing
Once you have your dataset, it’s time to preprocess it. This means cleaning and formatting the data so that it can be used to train the ChatGPT model. For instance, you can remove stop words, punctuation, and numbers and convert the text into a numerical format using one-hot encoding or word embeddings.
Step 3: Labeling Data
To train a supervised machine learning model, you need to label the data based on the sentiment it expresses. You can assign a binary label to each piece of text data, with positive sentiment labeled as 1 and negative sentiment labeled as 0. For example, you can label a positive review of a restaurant as 1 and a negative review as 0.
Step 4: Training the Model
There are 2 approaches to train LLMs to answer questions –
- Model fine-tuning, and
- Context injection.
Model fine-tuning allows us to train an existing LLM with additional data to optimize it for a particular task/ customize to specific datasets etc. Here, we utilize a pre-trained model such as LLama or BERT and add the required training data to adapt it to the task at hand.
However, this approach will not let you inject your domain knowledge as the model is trained on excessive amounts of general language data, leaving your specific domain data insufficient to override the model’s existing learning.
With context injection, we can solve this challenge. It lets us focus on the prompt and inject the relevant context into it. Hence, we need to figure out a way to provide the prompt with the right information – ’embeddings’ is the answer. With embeddings we can translate our text into vectors, representing it in a multidimensional space where points closer to each other have the same context. The vectors are stored and indexed in a vector database for faster search.
Step 5: Model Evaluation
Once the model is trained, you should evaluate its performance using a testing dataset that the model hasn’t seen before. This helps you measure the model’s accuracy and identify areas that need improvement. For example, you can evaluate the model’s performance on customer reviews not used in the training dataset.
Once the model is trained, you should evaluate its performance using a testing dataset that the model hasn’t seen before. This helps you measure the model’s accuracy and identify gaps in the model’s understanding.
For ex: if the Model is getting confused between the customer being just satisfied vs. very happy with the service.
When to and When Not to Use ChatGPT for Sentiment Analysis
ChatGPT’s ability to understand natural language makes it an ideal tool for sentiment analysis. By analyzing a large amount of text data, ChatGPT can identify patterns in language that indicate positive, negative, or neutral sentiments. It can also recognize happiness, thankful, gratitude, shame, stress, sarcasm, irony, and other forms of language that may convey a different sentiment than the words used.
Data scientists working on global challenges are using ChatGPT for many of its benefits, such as:
- Flexibility: ChatGPT can be trained to recognize industry-specific language and terminology, making it a flexible tool for sentiment analysis in various industries.
- Accuracy: ChatGPT’s ability to understand natural language makes it 10X more accurate than traditional sentiment analysis tools.
- Efficiency: ChatGPT can analyze large amounts of text data quickly and efficiently.
- Cost-effectiveness: ChatGPT is a cost-effective solution for sentiment analysis compared to traditional methods that require manual analysis.
Challenges with Using ChatGPT
- When using cloud-based generative AI solutions or working with third-party providers, businesses must carefully evaluate the data security measures implemented by these services and ensure compliance with their own data security and legal team protocols.
- Since on-premise options are not available, organizations need to carefully evaluate their options, adopt privacy-preserving techniques, use secure data encryption methods, and regularly conduct vulnerability assessments and audits.
How to Navigate through these Challenges?
Option 1: Organizations should utilize Azure OpenAI services if they are already using Azure services for their ML and Analytics operations.
Option 2: Organizations can go for other LLM models such as Llama, Apaca, Orca, PaLM, LaMDA, etc. These models can be used on-premise and do not require any data sharing over the Internet.
Applications of ChatGPT in Building Customer Experience
Using ChatGPT for sentiment analysis, companies can gain valuable insights into customer sentiment and tailor their strategies accordingly. Some of the major applications are:
- Analyzing customer feedback and reviews
- Monitoring social media platforms for customer sentiment
- Identifying potential issues before they become major problems
- Tailoring customer service responses based on sentiment analysis
- Tracking customer sentiment over time to identify changes and trends
- Predicting customer needs and preferences based on sentiment analysis
- Improving product and service offerings based on customer feedback
- Personalizing marketing and advertising messages based on customer sentiment
