1. A computer-implemented method for creating a minute of a teleconference from a record thereof, wherein the method comprises:
acquiring, by one or more processors, an indication of a topic of the teleconference,
calculating, by the one or more processors, corresponding relevance indicators of a plurality of portions of the record each being indicative of a relevance of the corresponding portion with respect to the topic,
classifying, the one or more processors, each of the plurality of portions as relevant or non-relevant according to a comparison of the corresponding relevance indicator with a relevance threshold,
removing, by the one or more processors, each non-relevant portion from the minute leaving only relevant portions remaining in the minute,
calculating, by the one or more processors, corresponding similarity indicators of one or more pairs of the relevant portions each being indicative of a similarity between the corresponding relevant portions of a pair,
classifying, by the one or more processors, each of the one or more pairs of relevant portions as similar or non-similar according to a comparison of the corresponding similarity indicator with a similarity threshold,
selecting, by the one or more processors, a redundant portion of each of the similar pairs of relevant portions to be a relevant portion of associated similar pair with a lower relevance indicator, and
removing, by the one or more processors, the redundant one of the relevant portions of each similar pair of relevant portions from the minute.
