This invention describes a computer program designed to automatically summarize digital group conversations, particularly those related to an event. It analyzes individual reply messages using natural language processing to identify key information such as entities, sentiment, and keywords. The system can then group responses, for example, into positive or negative categories, or detect messages that contain questions or action items, providing an ongoing summary of the discussion. The claims specifically narrow the focus to analyzing reply messages associated with an event and identifying entities and questions within those replies.
Why it matters: In 2018, the natural language processing required for accurate entity extraction, sentiment analysis, and question identification was complex and resource-intensive. The significant advancements in large language models since then have made these core capabilities far more accessible and effective, simplifying the implementation of such a system.
