Abstract

A computer-implemented method for determining an answer to a question in a multi-party conversation includes receiving a multi-party conversation having multiple nodes of unstructured natural language. Each node is parsed into a plurality of elements. Each element of the plurality of elements that comprises a question is identified. A conversation node list is constructed that identifies relationships between the nodes. At least one answer to the question is produced based on the conversation node list.
