Abstract

Argumentation is an important means of communication. For describing especially arguments about consequences, the notion of effect
relations has been introduced recently. We propose a method to extract effect relations from
large text resources and apply it on encyclopedic and argumentative texts. By connecting the
extracted relations, we generate a knowledge
graph which we call effect graph. For evaluating the effect graph, we perform crowd and
expert annotations and create a novel dataset.
We demonstrate a possible use case of the effect
graph by proposing a method for explaining arguments from consequences.
