| Challenge: | Existing models for deliberative discussions have been built manually based on a small set of discussions, resulting in a level of abstraction that is not suitable for move recommendation. |
| Approach: | They propose to model argumentation strategies of deliberative discussions by annotating ongoing discussions with a label that can be used for move description. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can predict arguments of participants in deliberative discussions using metadata from Wikipedia talk pages. |
