Final Year Project
Project Title
Prediction of Call Arrival Time and Rates
Description
The Final Year Project is in collaboration with Afiniti, a leading organization working in Artificial Intelligence. Call centres have various types of customers calling in. The problem is to devise algorithms that can predict the time of the next call, call category and call volume in an interval within a reasonable degree of accuracy. (Group Project)
