Algorithmically-Generated Personas paired with AI-Generated Pain Points Detection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One does not often hear personas, AI, and pain points mentioned together. However, the combination can provide better situational awareness and better brainstorming on addressing customer pain points. It is analogous to a mixed-methods<\/a> approach!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence carries a high potential to automatically detect customers\u2019 pain points<\/a>, which is a particular concern the customer expresses that the company can address. However, unstructured data scattered across social media make detection a nontrivial task.<\/p>\n

To help businesses gain deeper insights into customers\u2019 pain points, we experimented with and evaluated the performance of various machine learning models to automatically detect pain points and pain point types for enhanced customer insights.<\/p>\n

The data consisted of 4.2 million user-generated tweets targeting 20 global brands from five industries. Among the models we trained, neural networks show the best performance at overall pain point detection, with an accuracy of 85% (F1 score =.80). The best model for detecting five specific pain points was RoBERTa 100 samples using SYNONYM augmentation.<\/p>\n

Based on the findings, we suggest that firms use pain point profiling to apply subclasses to the identified pain point messages to gain a deeper understanding of their customers\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n

The next step of this research is to take this social media data and enrich it with demographic and other data to create foundational personas. Then, enhance these foundational personas to create complete, useable, algorithmically-generated personas for use throughout the business to address these customer pain points.<\/p>\n

You can read about AI pain point detection and algorithmically-generated personas<\/a> creation in the following articles.<\/p>\n
