Playing log(N)-Questions over Sentences

no code implementations13 Aug 2019 Peter Potash, Kaheer Suleman

We propose a two-agent game wherein a questioner must be able to conjure discerning questions between sentences, incorporate responses from an answerer, and keep track of a hypothesis state.

Ranking Passages for Argument Convincingness

no code implementations WS 2019 Peter Potash, Adam Ferguson, Timothy J. Hazen

We detail the process of extracting topical passages for queries submitted to a search engine, creating annotated sets of passages aligned to different stances on a topic, and assessing argument convincingness of passages using pairwise annotation.
