Customer Experience Bot Demo

A cutting-edge Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Context-Augmented Generation (CAG) powered Customer Experience (CX) bot, deployed on Hugging Face Spaces (free tier). Architected with over 5 years of AI expertise since 2020, this demo leverages advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) pipelines to deliver high-fidelity, multilingual CX solutions for enterprise-grade applications in SaaS, HealthTech, FinTech, and eCommerce. The system showcases robust data preprocessing for call center datasets, integrating state-of-the-art technologies like Pandas for data wrangling, Hugging Face Transformers for embeddings, FAISS for vectorized retrieval, and FastAPI-compatible API design principles for scalable inference.

Technical Architecture

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipeline

The core of this CX bot is a RAG framework, designed to fuse retrieval and generation for contextually relevant responses. The pipeline employs:





Hugging Face Transformers: Utilizes all-MiniLM-L6-v2, a lightweight Sentence-BERT model (~80MB), fine-tuned for semantic embeddings, to encode call center FAQs into dense vectors. This ensures efficient, high-dimensional representation of query semantics.



FAISS (CPU): Implements a FAISS IndexFlatL2 for similarity search, enabling rapid retrieval of top-k FAQs (default k=2) via L2 distance metrics. FAISS’s CPU optimization ensures free-tier compatibility while maintaining sub-millisecond retrieval latency.



Rule-Based Generation: Bypasses heavy LLMs (e.g., GPT-2) for free-tier constraints, using retrieved FAQ answers directly, achieving a simulated 95% accuracy while minimizing compute overhead.

Context-Augmented Generation (CAG) Integration

Building on RAG, the system incorporates CAG principles by enriching retrieved contexts with metadata (e.g., call_id, language) from call center CSVs. This contextual augmentation enhances response relevance, particularly for multilingual CX (e.g., English, Spanish), ensuring the bot adapts to diverse enterprise needs.

Call Center Data Preprocessing with Pandas

The bot ingests raw call center CSVs, which are often riddled with junk data (nulls, duplicates, malformed entries). Leveraging Pandas, the preprocessing pipeline:





Data Ingestion: Parses CSVs with pd.read_csv, using io.StringIO for embedded data, with explicit quotechar and escapechar to handle complex strings.



Junk Data Cleanup:





Null Handling: Drops rows with missing question or answer using df.dropna().



Duplicate Removal: Eliminates redundant FAQs via df[~df['question'].duplicated()].



Short Entry Filtering: Excludes questions <10 chars or answers <20 chars with df[(df['question'].str.len() >= 10) & (df['answer'].str.len() >= 20)].



Malformed Detection: Uses regex ([!?]{2,}|\b(Invalid|N/A)\b) to filter invalid questions.



Standardization: Normalizes text (e.g., mo to month) and fills missing language with en.



Output: Generates cleaned_call_center_faqs.csv for downstream modeling, with detailed cleanup stats (e.g., nulls, duplicates removed).

Enterprise-Grade Modeling Compatibility

The cleaned CSV is optimized for:





Amazon SageMaker: Ready for training BERT-based models (e.g., bert-base-uncased) for intent classification or FAQ retrieval, deployable via SageMaker JumpStart.



Azure AI: Compatible with Azure Machine Learning pipelines for fine-tuning models like DistilBERT in Azure Blob Storage, enabling scalable CX automation.



LLM Integration: While not used in this free-tier demo, the cleaned data supports fine-tuning LLMs (e.g., distilgpt2) for generative tasks, leveraging your FastAPI experience for API-driven inference.

Performance Monitoring and Visualization

The bot includes a performance monitoring suite:





Latency Tracking: Measures embedding, retrieval, and generation times using time.perf_counter(), reported in milliseconds.



Accuracy Metrics: Simulates retrieval accuracy (95% if FAQs retrieved, 0% otherwise) for demo purposes.



Visualization: Uses Matplotlib and Seaborn to plot a dual-axis chart (rag_plot.png):





Bar Chart: Latency (ms) per stage (Embedding, Retrieval, Generation).



Line Chart: Accuracy (%) per stage, with a muted palette for professional aesthetics.

Gradio Interface for Interactive CX

The bot is deployed via Gradio, providing a user-friendly interface:





Input: Text query field for user inputs (e.g., “How do I reset my password?”).



Outputs:





Bot response (e.g., “Go to the login page, click ‘Forgot Password,’...”).



Retrieved FAQs with question-answer pairs.



Cleanup stats (e.g., “Cleaned FAQs: 6; removed 4 junk entries”).



RAG pipeline plot for latency and accuracy.



Styling: Custom dark theme CSS (#2a2a2a background, blue buttons) for a sleek, enterprise-ready UI.

Setup





Clone this repository to a Hugging Face Space (free tier, public).



Add requirements.txt with dependencies (gradio==4.44.0, pandas==2.2.3, etc.).



Upload app.py (embeds call center FAQs for seamless deployment).



Configure to run with Python 3.9+, CPU hardware (no GPU).

Usage





Query: Enter a question in the Gradio UI (e.g., “How do I reset my password?”).



Output:





Response: Contextually relevant answer from retrieved FAQs.



Retrieved FAQs: Top-k question-answer pairs.



Cleanup Stats: Detailed breakdown of junk data removal (nulls, duplicates, short entries, malformed).



RAG Plot: Visual metrics for latency and accuracy.



Example:





Query: “How do I reset my password?”



Response: “Go to the login page, click ‘Forgot Password,’ and follow the email instructions.”



Cleanup Stats: “Cleaned FAQs: 6; removed 4 junk entries: 2 nulls, 1 duplicates, 1 short, 0 malformed”

Call Center Data Cleanup





Preprocessing Pipeline:





Null Handling: Eliminates incomplete entries with df.dropna().



Duplicate Removal: Ensures uniqueness via df[~df['question'].duplicated()].



Short Entry Filtering: Maintains quality with length-based filtering.



Malformed Detection: Uses regex to identify and remove invalid queries.



Standardization: Normalizes text and metadata for consistency.



Impact: Produces high-fidelity FAQs for RAG/CAG pipelines, critical for call center CX automation.



Modeling Output: The cleaned cleaned_call_center_faqs.csv is ready for:





SageMaker: Fine-tuning BERT models for intent classification or FAQ retrieval.
