  • Patent number: 10891442
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for message tone evaluation. A message or a group of messages are retrieved between a sender entity and a recipient entity. Text content for the message or group of messages is extracted and the analysis of the tone of the text content is obtained. A graph is referenced in which nodes represent entities and edges between the nodes have tone weightings for a tone for a communication relationship between the entities. The graph is updated with a tone weighting for the retrieved message or group of messages by setting or updating an edge tone weighting between the nodes for the sender entity and the recipient entity. The graph is analyzed to obtain analysis of one or more entities and the tone weightings of their communication relationships.

  • Publication number: 20180081872
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for message tone evaluation between entities in an organization. A message or a group of messages are intercepted between a sender entity and a recipient entity in an organization. Text content for the message or group of messages is extracted and the analysis of the tone of the text content is obtained. A graph is referenced in which nodes represent entities in the organization and edges between the nodes have tone weightings for a tone for a communication relationship between the entities. The graph is updated with a tone weighting for the intercepted message or group of messages by setting or updating an edge tone weighting between the nodes for the sender entity and the recipient entity. The graph is analyzed to obtain analysis of one or more entities of the organization and the tone weightings of their communication relationships.
