Blogs and forums are widely adopted by online communities to debate about various issues. However, a user that wants to cut in on a debate may experience some difficulties in extracting the current accepted positions, and can be discouraged from interacting through these applications. In our paper, we combine textual entailment with argumentation theory to automatically extract the arguments from debates and to evaluate their acceptability.

متن کاملCombining Specialized Entailment Engines
In this paper we propose a general method for the combination of specialized textual entailment engines. Each engine is supposed to address a specific language phenomenon, which is considered relevant for drawing semantic inferences. The model is based on the idea that the distance between the Text and the Hypothesis can be conveniently decomposed into a combination of distances estimated by si...
