Project Debater: integrated autonomous argument mining and spoken debate

What changed

Integrated evidence and claim retrieval, stance and argument-quality assessment, narrative construction and opponent-rebuttal processing into a system evaluated in competitive spoken debates with expert humans.

Scientific scope

Integrated evidence and claim retrieval, stance and argument-quality assessment, narrative construction and opponent-rebuttal processing into a system evaluated in competitive spoken debates with expert humans. The record concerns the source-reported integration and documented debate evaluation.
