Corpus Wide Argument Mining -- a Working Solution

Understand

One of the main tasks in argument mining is the retrieval of argumentative content pertaining to a given topic.

• Most previous work addressed this task by retrieving a relatively small number of relevant documents as the initial source for such content.
• This line of research yielded moderate success, which is of limited use in a real-world system.
• Furthermore, for such a system to yield a comprehensive set of relevant arguments, over a wide range of topics, it requires leveraging a large and diverse corpus in an appropriate manner.
