  • Patent number: 10785270
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for discovering social network groups of interests to attendees of a group gathering. Voice imprints of attendees of a group gathering are received during a registration process. The received voice imprints are associated with the registered attendees. A voice stream that was captured in the group gathering is then translated to a list of utterances. Each utterance is then tagged with the attendee who made the utterance based on the voice imprints provided by the attendees during registration. The utterances are parsed and analyzed to identify concepts and keywords. An attendee to the group gathering may then be associated with a social network group (either preexisting or newly created) with a mapping to concepts and keywords that have a similarity to the identified concepts and keywords that meets or exceeds a threshold.
