Abstract
One or more content streams are obtained from a client device associated with a participant during a conference call. The one or more content streams indicate verbal phrases provided by the participant during the conference call. At least a portion of the one or more content streams are fed as input to a machine learning model. A polling question for polling other participants of the conference call and one or more answer options corresponding to the polling question are determined based on one or more outputs of the machine learning model. The polling question and the one or more answer options are provided for polling the other participants via one or more client devices associated with the other participants.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining one or more content streams from a client device associated with a participant of a plurality of participants during a conference call, wherein the one or more content streams indicate verbal phrases provided by the participant during an ongoing discussion between the plurality of participants during the conference call;
- feeding the one or more content streams as input to a machine learning model trained to determine a semantic context associated with verbal phrases included in given content streams and predict, based on the determined context, whether the verbal phrases comprise polling questions for polling conference call participants;
- determining, based on one or more outputs of the machine learning model, a polling question for polling other participants of the plurality of participants and one or more answer options corresponding to the polling question;
- and
- providing the polling question and the one or more answer options for polling the other participants via one or more client devices associated with the other participants.
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining one or more content streams from a client device associated with a participant of a plurality of participants during a conference call, wherein the one or more content streams indicate verbal phrases provided by the participant during an ongoing discussion between the plurality of participants during the conference call;
- feeding the one or more content streams as input to a machine learning model trained to determine a semantic context associated with verbal phrases included in given content streams and predict, based on the determined context, whether the verbal phrases comprise polling questions for polling conference call participants;
- determining, based on one or more outputs of the machine learning model, a polling question for polling other participants of the plurality of participants and one or more answer options corresponding to the polling question;
- and
- providing the polling question and the one or more answer options for polling the other participants via one or more client devices associated with the other participants.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for a server that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining one or more content streams from a client device associated with a participant of a plurality of participants during a conference call, wherein the one or more content streams indicate verbal phrases provided by the participant during an ongoing discussion between the plurality of participants during the conference call;
- feeding the one or more content streams as input to a machine learning model trained to determine a semantic context associated with verbal phrases included in given content streams and predict, based on the determined context, whether the verbal phrases comprise polling questions for polling conference call participants;
- determining, based on one or more outputs of the machine learning model, a polling question for polling other participants of the plurality of participants and one or more answer options corresponding to the polling question;
- and
- providing the polling question and the one or more answer options for polling the other participants via one or more client devices associated with the other participants.
