Argument mining is the automatic identification and extraction of structure inference reasoning expressed as arguments presented in natural language. Understanding argumentative makes it possible to determine not only what positions people are adopting, but also why they hold opinions do, providing valuable insights domains diverse financial market prediction public relations. This survey explores techniques that establish foundations for argument mining, provides a review recent advances...
From the Superman of comic books to Hollywood's big-screen action stars, Americans have long enjoyed a love affair with superhero. In this engaging volume John Shelton Lawrence and Robert Jewett explore historical spiritual roots superhero myth its deleterious effect on Americas democratic vision. Arguing that is antidemocratic counterpart classical monomyth described by Joseph Campbell, authors show American version derives from tales redemption. settings where institutions elected leaders...
Improve online public discourse by connecting opinions across blogs, editorials, and social media.
In this paper, we look at three different methods of extracting the argumentative structure from a piece natural language text.These cover linguistic features, changes in topic being discussed and supervised machine learning approach to identify components argumentation schemes, patterns human reasoning which have been detailed extensively philosophy psychology.For each these approaches achieve results comparable those previously reported, whilst same time achieving more argument...
In this paper we look at the manual analysis of arguments and how compares to current state automatic argument analysis. These considerations are used develop a new approach combining machine learning algorithm extract propositions from text, with topic model determine structure. The results method compared
Tracing the current ascendancy of missionary enthusiasm for crusading war in U.S. to Biblical traditions present since dawn American history, Jewett (New Testament studies, U. Heidelberg, Germany) and Lawrence (emeritus, philosophy, Morningside College, US) argue that comic boo
Using argument technology to strengthen critical literacy skills for assessing media reports.
We show how faceted search using a combination of traditional classification systems and mixed-membership topic models can go beyond keyword to inform resource discovery, hypothesis formulation, argument extraction for interdisciplinary research. Our test domain is the history philosophy scientific work on animal mind cognition. The methods be generalized other research areas ultimately support system semi-automatic identification structures. provide case study application problem...
Abstract Argument schemes are abstractions substantiating the inferential connection between premise(s) and conclusion in argumentative communication. Identifying such conventional patterns of reasoning is essential to interpretation evaluation argumentation. Whether studying argumentation from a theory-driven or data-driven perspective, insight into actual use communicative practice essential. Large reliably annotated corpora discourse quantitatively provide few far between. This all more...
The simulation of mathematical reasoning has been a driving force throughout the history Artificial Intelligence research. However, despite significant successes in computer mathematics, computers are not widely used by mathematicians apart from their quotidian applications. An oft-cited reason for this is that current computational systems cannot do mathematics way humans do. We draw on two areas which Automated Theorem Proving (ATP) currently unlike human mathematics: firstly focus...
The Argument Web is maturing as both a platform built upon synthesis of many contemporary theories argumentation in philosophy and also an ecosystem which various applications application components are contributed by different research groups around the world. It already hosts largest publicly accessible corpora has number interoperable cross compatible tools for analysis, navigation evaluation arguments across broad range domains, languages activity types. Such interoperability key...
This paper presents a method of extracting argumentative structure from natural language text. The approach presented is based on the way in which we understand an argument being made, not just words said, but existing contextual knowledge and understanding broader issues. We leverage high-precision, low-recall techniques order to automatically build large corpus inferential statements related text's topic. These are then used produce matrix representing relationship between different...
