Another important part of
a meeting is the ability to detect opinions, statements, and emotions.
These are seldom recorded as part of meeting minutes, yet they
play a crucial role in determining the meaning and importance
of what was said. Queries such as "Was John angry when he
was discussing Iran?" or "Show me John's opinions about
Iran" become possible. Figure 8 Discourse features displayed
in the meeting browser We interface with two systems, an emotion
detection and a discourse feature detection system which tap this
higher level meaning. Both of these systems run offline on meeting
data, but the resulting features are incorporated as part of the
meeting record and are displayed in the meeting browser.
