Claim Text:
1. A method of predicting a future state of an entity, the method comprising: collecting, by one or more processors, units of speech from a stream of speech, wherein the stream of speech is generated by a first entity; identifying, by one or more processors, tokens from the stream of speech, wherein each token identifies a particular unit of speech from the stream of speech, and wherein identification of the tokens is semantic-free such that the tokens are identified independently of a semantic meaning of a respective unit of speech; populating, by one or more processors, nodes in a first speech graph with the tokens; identifying, by one or more processors, a first shape of the first speech graph; matching, by one or more processors, the first shape to a second shape, wherein the second shape is of a second speech graph from a second entity in a known category; assigning, by one or more processors, the first entity to the known category in response to the first shape matching the second shape; and predicting, by one or more processors, a future state of the first entity based on the first entity being assigned to the known category.
