args.me corpus

The args.me corpus (version 1.0, cleaned) comprises 382 545 arguments crawled from four debate portals in the middle of 2019. The debate portals are Debatewise, IDebate.org, Debatepedia, and Debate.org. The arguments are extracted using heuristics that are designed for each debate portal.

This version contains the same arguments as Version 1.0, but cleaned as described in the corresponding publication.
