Abstract

Methods and systems for social analysis in multi-participant meetings provide for receiving a data stream of a multi-participant meeting, wherein multiple topics are discussed. The data stream is analyzed to detect topics and to define topical sub-activities that are performed by at least a portion of the participants. Contributions to a topic by two of the participants in the topical sub-activities are identified and evaluated. A connection weight between the two participants is calculated based on the evaluation of their respective contributions.
