Description: In order to form a well-informed opinion on a controversial topic, it is important to consider every aspect of the topic. Manual identification and naming of frames, which are grouping aspects, is an effortful task. Hence, in the herein work, we propose an approach to automate this task in a bottom-up manner. Given a set of argumentative sentences, we first create embeddings in a space that is capable of capturing aspect-based similarity. Afterwards, we group the arguments into frames by utilizing clustering algorithms. Thereby, we consider that an argumentative sentence can belong to more than one frame, which is often ignored or circumvented by other works. Finally, the subtopic represented by each cluster should be named succinctly in a human-understandable way. Moreover, we investigate the employment of an automated identification and naming of frames in applications for opinion formation, such as the argumentative dialogue system BEA. We provide methodological approaches and first results, but there are ...
