Abstract

Discussion mining is a preliminary study on gathering knowledge based on the content of face-to-face discussion meetings. To extract knowledge from discussion content, we have to analyze not only the surface arguments, but also semantic information such as a statement’s intention and the discussion flow during meetings. We require a discussion ontology for this information. This discussion ontology forms the basis of our discussion methodology and requires semantic relations between elements in meetings. We must clarify these semantic relations to build the discussion ontology. We therefore generated discussion content and analyzed meeting metadata to build the ontology.
