Automatic Argumentation Extraction

This extended abstract outlines the area of automatic argumentation extraction. The state of the art is discussed, and how it has influenced the proposed direction of this work. This research aims to provide decision support by automatically extracting argumentation from natural language, enabling a decision maker to follow more closely the reasoning process, to examine premises and counter-arguments, and to reach better informed decisions.
