Context based identification of non-relevant verbal communications
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a plurality of audio signals transmitted via a plurality of devices linked by a Voice over Internet Protocol telecommunication network;
identifying, by one or more processors, a plurality of utterances transmitted via the plurality of audio signals based, at least in part, on speech to text software;
determining, by one or more processors, a first topic associated with a first set of utterances transmitted by a first device via a first audio signal based, at least in part, on mining keywords from the first set of utterances;
determining, by one or more processors, a current topic of conversation associated with the plurality of utterances based, at least in part, on speech analytics software;
determining, by one or more processors, that the first topic associated with the first set of utterances is irrelevant to the current topic of conversation associated with the plurality of utterances based, at least in part, on a comparison of the first topic and the current topic of conversation;
muting, by one or more processors, the first audio signal based, at least in part, on determining that the first topic associated with the first set of utterances is irrelevant to the current topic of conversation associated with the plurality of utterances;
monitoring, by one or more processors, a second set of utterances transmitted via the first device while the first audio signal is muted;
determining that a second topic associated with the second set of utterances is relevant to the current topic of conversation; and
unmuting, by one or more processors, the first audio signal based, at least in part, on determining that the topic associated with the second set of utterances is relevant to the current topic of conversation.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes identifying a first set of utterances from a plurality of utterances. The plurality of utterances is associated with a conversation and transmitted via a plurality of audio signals. The computer-implemented method further includes mining the first set of utterances for a first context. The computer-implemented method further includes determining that the first context associated with the first set of utterances is not relevant to a second context associated with the conversation. The computer-implemented method further includes dynamically muting, for at least a first period of time, a first audio signal in the plurality of audio signals corresponding to the first set of utterances. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed.

7. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising instructions to:
-
receive a plurality of audio signals transmitted via a plurality of devices linked by a Voice over Internet Protocol telecommunication network; identify a plurality of utterances transmitted via the plurality of audio signals based, at least in part, on speech to text software; determine a first topic associated with a first set of utterances transmitted by a first device via a first audio signal based, at least in part, on mining keywords from the first set of utterances; determine a current topic of conversation associated with the plurality of utterances based, at least in part, on speech analytics software; determine that the first topic associated with the first set of utterances is irrelevant to the current topic of conversation associated with the plurality of utterances based, at least in part, on a comparison of the first topic and the current topic of conversation; mute based, at least in part, on determining that the first topic associated with the first set of utterances is irrelevant to the current topic of conversation associated with the plurality of utterances; monitor a second of utterances transmitted via the first device while the first audio signal is muted; determine that a second topic associated with the second set of utterances is relevant to the current topic of conversation; and unmute the first audio signal based, at least in part, on determining that the topic associated with the second set of utterances is relevant to the current topic of conversation. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
