This demonstration paper presents an argument-inducing online forum that stimulates participants with lack of premises for their claim in online discussions. The proposed forum provides its participants the following two subsystems: (1) Argument estimator for online discussions automatically generates a visualization of the argument structures in posts based on argument mining. The forum indicates structures such as claim-premise relations in real time by exploiting a state-of-the-art deep learning model. (2) Argument-inducing agent for online discussion (AIAD) automatically generates a reply post based on the argument estimator requesting further reasons to improve the argumentation of participants.
