Abstract

An information processing system includes a positioning information obtainer, a level-of-importance obtainer, a degree-of-agreement obtainer, and a calculator. The positioning information obtainer obtains information on positions of statements in an argument. The level-of-importance obtainer obtains levels of importance of the statements for a claim in the argument in accordance with the positions of the statements. The degree-of-agreement obtainer obtains a degree of agreement indicating a degree to which participants in the argument agree on each of the statements. The calculator calculates a degree of claim agreement of the claim and a degree of claim certainty of the claim from the levels of importance and the degrees of agreement on the statements. The degree of claim agreement indicates a degree to which the participants in the argument agree on the claim. The degree of claim certainty indicates a degree of certainty of the claim.

the display displays the updated degree of claim agreement and the updated degree of claim certainty when the degree of claim agreement, the degree of claim certainty, the updated degree of claim agreement, and the updated degree of claim certainty satisfy a predetermined condition.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising

a change unit that changes, in response to receipt of a user input, at least one of the level of importance and the degree of agreement on at least one of the statements, the level of importance of the at least one of the statements being obtained by the level-of-importance obtainer, the degree of agreement on the at least one of the statements being obtained by the degree-of-agreement obtainer, wherein

the calculator calculates the degree of claim agreement and the degree of claim certainty by using the changed at least one of the level of importance and the degree of agreement.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 8 , further comprising

an output unit that outputs, when at least one of the degree of claim agreement and the degree of claim certainty calculated by the calculator changes in response to a change of at least one of the level of importance and the degree of agreement on at least one of the statements by the change unit, the argument in which the statements have been made, the statements, the changed at least one of the degree of claim agreement and the degree of claim certainty, and the changed at least one of the level of importance and the degree of agreement in association with one another.

10 . An information processing system comprising:

a categorizer that categorizes a plurality of statements in an argument into components of a predetermined argument model;

a characteristic value obtainer that obtains characteristic values of the plurality of statements;

an associator that associates the plurality of statements with each other in accordance with the components into which the plurality of statements are categorized by the categorizer;

a calculator that calculates a claim characteristic value by using the characteristic values of the plurality of statements and a result of associating the plurality of statements with each other, the claim characteristic value indicating a characteristic of a claim in the argument; and

a display that displays the plurality of statements and the claim related to the claim characteristic value when the claim characteristic value satisfies a predetermined condition.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein

the display displays the plurality of statements and the claim related to the claim characteristic value when the claim characteristic value is a biased value.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein

the display displays the plurality of statements and the claim related to the claim characteristic value when the claim characteristic value is less than a predetermined threshold value.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , wherein

the display displays, in an argument in which one of one or more statements made in connection with a first claim is made as a second claim different from the first claim, a claim characteristic value of the second claim in association with the one or more statements made in connection with the first claim.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 10 , further comprising

a change unit that changes, in response to receipt of a user input, at least one of the characteristic values obtained by the characteristic value obtainer, wherein

the calculator calculates the claim characteristic value by using the changed at least one of the characteristic values.
