There are situations where the information we need to retrieve from a set of documents is expressed in the form of arguments. Recent advances in argumentation mining pave the way for a new type of ranking that addresses such situations and can positively reduce the set of documents one needs to access in order to obtain a satisfactory overview of a given topic. We define and implement a proof-of-concept argumentative ranking prototype, to find that the results it provides can significantly differ from, and possibly improve, those returned by an argumentation-agnostic search engine.

Abstract
There are situations where the information we need to retrieve from a set of documents is expressed in the form of arguments. Recent advances in argumentation mining pave the way for a new type of ranking that addresses such situations and can positively reduce the set of documents one needs to access in order to obtain a satisfactory overview of a given topic. We define and implement a proof-of-concept argumentative ranking prototype, to find that the results it provides can significantly differ from, and possibly improve, those returned by an argumentation-agnostic search engine.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
