M2 internship offer: Design of an interface for the visualization of argumentation graphs to explore argumentative structures in natural language.
Argument mining involves the automatic identification of the argumentative structures in text, such as premises, conclusions and the argumentation patterns, as well as the relations between the arguments (support, attack). To date, researchers have studied methods for extracting arguments in areas such as legal documents, online debates, product reviews, academic literature, user reviews and newspaper articles.
Given the output of an argument mining system, the goal of this internship is to design and implement an interactive visualization tool for argument graphs with textual arguments as nodes of the graph, and the relations between the arguments as edges.
