Abstract
A method and an apparatus for classifying spoken content in a teleconference for a follower of the teleconference is disclosed. The method comprises: detecting a topic to which the spoken content belongs; determining a (overall) correlation degree between the follower and the spoken content at least according to a correlation degree between the follower and the topic; and classifying the spoken content according to the (overall) correlation degree between the follower and the spoken content. With the method and the apparatus, the correlation degree between the spoken content in the teleconference and the follower of the teleconference can be determined automatically, and the spoken content can be classified according to the correlation degree, so that the follower can selectively pay attention to some spoken contents during the teleconference, which reduces a burden of the follower and improves conference efficiency.
