Patent number: 10891442Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sergio F. Carmena, John Dowling, Alex Martinelli, Daniele Riccardelli
