Abstract
A method is provided for determining support of a hypothesis by opinion sentences. The method converts sentence structures in the opinion sentences using various sentence structure conversion methods to obtain converted opinion sentences. For each converted opinion sentence, the method calculates a difference between a proximity label value indicating proximity to the hypothesis and an intermediate score before and after a conversion, adopts the conversion responsive to a condition being met relative to the difference, and adopts the opinion sentence instead responsive to the condition being unmet. The method creates sub-opinions using the various methods applied to adopted conversions and opinion sentences, and obtains an intermediate score for each sub-opinion. The method represents an amount of support for the hypothesis by obtaining and displaying a final score for each adopted conversions and opinion sentences based on the intermediate scores for the sub-opinions and for adopted conversions and opinion sentences.
