Expert Stance Graphs for Computational Argumentation
Orith Toledo‐Ronen, Roy Bar-Haim, Noam Slonim · 2016
We describe the construction of an Expert Stance Graph, a novel, large-scale knowledge resource that encodes the stance of more than 100,000 experts towards a variety of controversial topics.We suggest that this graph may be valuable for various fundamental tasks in computational argumentation.Experts and topics in our graph are Wikipedia entries.Both automatic and semi-automatic methods for building the graph are explored, and manual assessment validates the high accuracy of the resulting graph.
