DETERMINING CONSENSUS AMONG MESSAGE PARTICIPANTS BASED ON MESSAGE CONTENT

摘要

Systems for determining and presenting consensus based on evaluating a message conversation are described. A consensus determination application may automatically parse each message of a series of messages related to a topic, using natural language processing or similar methods, to determine one or more suggestions and corresponding opinions for the one or more suggestions contained within those messages. The consensus for each of the one or more suggestions may be presented to a user. By viewing the automatically-determined consensus, the user may, without reading and evaluating all of the messages within the conversation, understand the level of consensus regarding the topic across the group of message participants. Accordingly, user burden is reduced and users may more effectively debate ideas and present suggestions with fewer misunderstandings, leading to an overall better user experience.
