Abstract:
An important need of journalists writing opinion articles is the ability to identify, obtain and understand online arguments and opinions covering various perspectives of the debate at hand, a task that cannot be fully accomplished using simple keyword search. This paper describes research on analyzing Greek news articles from a variety of news sources, which considers the internal structure of arguments, in addition to their textual content. We describe a suite of tools for mining, representing and reasoning with real arguments, using semantic technologies, and argue that our tools can enhance future newsroom processes in the domain of online journalism.
