Abstract

Computer-based argument mining can be implemented by accessing data comprising text encapsulating a plurality of debates relating to varying topics. Thereafter, the text is parsed into snippets of text containing arguments. Features are then extracted or otherwise derived from pairs of snippets. The features are then used by a transformer network to classify each of the snippets according to one of three categories, the pairs of snippets either being on a same side of a debate or on a different side of the debate. Data is then provided which characterizes the classification. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
