AI summary

Digitized media is received that records a conversation between individuals. Cues are extracted from the digitized media that indicate properties of the conversation. The cues are entered as training data into a machine learning module to create a trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model is used in a processor to detect other misalignments in subsequent digitized conversations.
