Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method, and computer program product are described that predicts a time in which a participant of a group of participants may speak in a group meeting. The prediction is based in part on latency between each participant in the group of participants and learned voice patterns of each respective participant. Once a prediction is determined, a cue to speak or remain silent is provided as one of a visual or aural cue to the participant to speak during the group meeting. Predicting a time in which the participant of a group of participants may speak includes training a lingual processing model iteratively for each respective participant to learn voice patterns of participants.
