Abstract

Methods and systems provide for extracting filler words and phrases from a communication session. In one embodiment, the system receives a transcript of a conversation involving one or more participants produced during a communication session; extracts, from the transcript, utterances including one or more sentences spoken by the participants; identifies a subset of the utterances spoken by a subset of the participants associated with a prespecified organization; extracts filler phrases within the subset of utterances, the filler phrases each comprising one or more words representing disfluencies within a sentence, where extracting the filler phrases includes applying filler detection rules; and presents, for display at one or more client devices, data corresponding to the extracted filler phrases.
