Abstract

From abundant, distributed, unstructured textual information on the web, we would like to be able to extract, structure, and graphically present the argument content (extraction problem). Furthermore, we would also like to reason with the constructed natural language arguments, especially in the face of inconsistency (evaluation problem). In the talk, I present some recent progress on both problems and highlight some key issues.
