Argument Mining and Social Debates
Lucas Carstens, Francesca Toni, Valentinos Evripidou · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2014
With this demonstration we introduce AFAlpha, a prototype of an Argument Mining tool, working in unison with Quaestio-it, an online social debating platform. While AFAlpha extracts arguments from text, as well as attack and support relations between arguments, Quaestio-it is concerned with visualising and evaluating interactive debates. We thus use Quaestio-it to represent and visualise output from AFAlpha, with the goal of taking plain text, in our case online reviews, and representing it in the form of a debate.
