Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for assigning differential weight to participants in a meeting, and for automatically generating summaries of meetings. A transcript of the meeting is generated or obtained; and meeting data and meta-data is analyzed, optionally utilizing textual analysis and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Roles or titles are determined for each participant; and a differential weight is allocated to utterances of each participant based on his role or title. Optionally, the weight is modified based on the relation between the participant's role and the topic of an utterance, or by taking into account the level of activity or passiveness of each participant. Optionally, a high-ranking participant is assigned a prevailing weight, with regard to all topics or with regard to a subset of topics. The system generates automatically a summary of approved decisions, approved action items, rejected proposals, or other insights.
