FACILITATING A MEETING USING GRAPHICAL TEXT ANALYSIS

摘要

Embodiments relate to facilitating a meeting. A method for facilitating a meeting of a group of participants is provided. The method generates a graph of words from speeches of the participants as the words are received from the participants. The method partitions the group of participants into a plurality of subgroups of participants. The method performs a graphical text analysis on the graph to identify a cognitive state for each participant and a cognitive state for each subgroup of participants. The method informs at least one of the participants about the identified cognitive state of a participant or a subgroup of participants.

1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating a meeting of a group of participants, the method comprising:
partitioning, by a processor, the group of participants into a first subgroup of participants and a second subgroup of participants; generating, by the processor, a data structure that represents a graph of words from each of the participants, wherein the graph includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, each node representing a word or a phrase uttered by a participant and an identity of the participant, and each edge representing a temporal precedence of utterance of the words; determining, by the processor, cognitive states of the participants respectively by analyzing the graph of words; determining, by the processor, a first cognitive state of the first subgroup of participants based on the respective cognitive states of one or more participants from the first subgroup; detecting, by the processor, a change in the first cognitive state of the first subgroup of participants; and in response, informing the second subgroup of participants of the change in the first cognitive state of the first subgroup of participants.
