Generating semantic contexts from spoken conversation in meetings

SemanticTalk is a tool for supporting face-to-face meetings and discussions by automatically generating a semantic context from spoken conversations. We use speech recognition and topic extraction from a large terminological database to create a network of discussion topics in real-time. This network includes concepts explicitly addressed in the discussion as well as semantically associated terms, and is visualized to increase conversational awareness and creativity in the group. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.3 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Group and Organization Interfaces -- computer-supported cooperative work, synchronous interaction, theory and models. General Terms Human Factors, Algorithms, Experimentation. Keywords Semantic context, conversational awareness, real-time speechrecognition, intelligent assistance.
