Generating summary data from audio data or video data in a group-based communication system

Techniques for transcribing and / or summarizing multimedia collaboration sessions are discussed herein. For example, users can communicate within a teleconferencing meeting associated with a channel. In some examples, a first machine learning model may be configured to receive audio-visual data and user interaction data (e.g., selected emojis, detected gestures, messages or text input by a user, a thread of messages, etc.) and output a teleconferencing meeting summary. In some examples, the teleconferencing meeting summary can include one or more highlights, action items, and / or artificial intelligence (AI) notes generated using a machine learning model(s).

Speech separation and paragraph attribution method and system for teleconference scenarios

This invention discloses a method and system for speech separation and segment attribution in remote conferencing scenarios, relating to the field of speech recognition technology. The method includes: triggering speech recording in a target meeting window via a conferencing platform to generate meeting audio; performing two-way speech separation processing on the meeting audio using a first engine to construct a speech logic graph; matching a target meeting template using a second engine and performing speech segment attribution based on automated meeting record layout according to the speech logic graph to generate a target meeting record; and storing the target meeting record in a platform database for retrieval and management using access settings. This invention solves the technical problem in existing multi-party conferencing systems where speech interleaving makes it difficult to effectively distinguish speakers and the logical structure of their statements, leading to unclear meeting record attribution and low editing efficiency. It achieves two-way semantic logic separation and structured attribution of remote meeting speech content, improving the accuracy of meeting records and the efficiency of automatic layout.

Automated audience response estimation and presenter feedback

Solutions are disclosed that provide automated audience response estimation (sentiment analysis) and presenter feedback. Examples capture a plurality of multi-modal signals from a first multi-participant interaction session, such as capturing an audio feed, a video feed, a chat, and actions (e.g., hand-raising) from a video teleconference. Timing information is correlated, enabling accurate sentiment analysis across the multi-modal signals, such as nodding in agreement, detected in the video feed, is correlated with spoken words, captured in the audio clip and identified in an automated transcript. This enables reporting audience sentiment to the presenter, in near-real-time (i.e., during the teleconference) in some examples. Some examples combine multi-modal sentiment analysis results from multiple teleconferences in order to create or train a presentation coach that is able to suggest improvements to planned presentations. Some examples are able to identify a particular audience member (e.g., a VIP), and perform individualized sentiment analysis for that person.
