Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for evaluating dominance of participants in a conversation or interaction. An example system configured to practice the method first receives interaction data involving a plurality of participants, and can identify a type of interaction based on the interaction data. The system can parse the interaction data to identify dialog turns, and extract, from the interaction data and dialog turns, a plurality of participant features, wherein the plurality of participant features is selected based on the type of interaction. Then the system can generate, for each of the plurality of participants, a power index based on the respective participant features.

Abstract: A system generates medical knowledge base information by searching at least one repository of medical information to identify sentences including a received medical term. A data processor searches the identified sentences to identify sentences including a medical term different to the received term in response to a predetermined repository of medical terms and excludes sentences without a term different to the received term, to provide remaining multiple term sentences. The data processor groups different terms of individual sentences of the multiple term sentences to provide grouped terms, determines whether a medically valid relationship occurs between different terms of an individual group of terms of the grouped terms by using predetermined sentence structure and syntax rules and outputs data representing grouped terms having a medically valid relationship.
