Customer signals

To properly categorise customer signals and extract improvement actions from them, a text mining algorithm is used so that open text fields are converted to categories.

Responsible use

Goal and impact

PURPOSE: Targeted improvement of group-wide services, products, processes and services
IMPACT: The algorithm is used to improve service delivery in a general sense. The results have no impact on the (un)equal treatment of individual citizens.

Considerations

The application provides better services (lower costs and higher satisfaction). Possible personal data in the data is masked.

Human intervention

There is always human intervention between the outcomes of the algorithms and the actions taken because the outcomes serve as input for improvement teams within the municipality.

Legal basis

Justified interest: improving services

Technical design

A text mining algorithm is used to bundle the signals from Rotterdammers into one set of signals and extract improvement actions from them. This algorithm was developed by Underlined. The algorithm is used to convert open text fields into categories, also known as topic modelling. The algorithm maps both topics and perceptions. Each text is provided with up to 3 main topics and with up to 3 sub-topics each by this text mining algorithm for both dimensions. Input comes from various sources within the municipality (e.g. callback notes, customer satisfaction surveys and complaints). This involves well over 100,000 texts annually, which can be uniformly and quickly categorised in this way.

  • The algorithm identifies personal data and pre-entered words in documents. An employee must go through the document and check whether the alert is justified and approve or reject it. An employee can add further markings himself. After approval by the employee, all approved alerts and markings are blacklisted.
