Abstract
A method is provided in one example and includes receiving network traffic associated with a first user and a second user; evaluating keywords in the network traffic in order to identify a topic of discussion involving the first and the second users; determining a first sentiment associated with a first data segment associated with the first user; determining a second sentiment associated with a second data segment associated with the second user; and generating an argument map based on the first data sentiment and the second data sentiment.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving network traffic associated with a first user and a second user;
- evaluating keywords in the network traffic in order to identify a topic of discussion involving the first and the second users;
- determining a first sentiment associated with a first data segment associated with the first user;
- determining a second sentiment associated with a second data segment associated with the second user;
- and
- generating an argument map based on the first data sentiment and the second data sentiment.
Logic encoded in one or more tangible media that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor is operable to perform operations comprising:
- receiving network traffic associated with a first user and a second user;
- evaluating keywords in the network traffic in order to identify a topic of discussion involving the first and the second users;
- determining a first sentiment associated with a first data segment associated with the first user;
- determining a second sentiment associated with a second data segment associated with the second user;
- and
- generating an argument map based on the first data sentiment and the second data sentiment.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory element configured to store data;
- a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the data;
- a network sensor configured to interface with the memory element and the processor, wherein the apparatus is configured for:
- receiving network traffic associated with a first user and a second user;
- evaluating keywords in the network traffic in order to identify a topic of discussion involving the first and the second users;
- determining a first sentiment associated with a first data segment associated with the first user;
- determining a second sentiment associated with a second data segment associated with the second user;
- and
- generating an argument map based on the first data sentiment and the second data sentiment.
