The args.me corpus comprises 387 740 arguments. They are crawled from the debate portals Debatewise (14 353 arguments), IDebate.org (13 522 arguments), Debatepedia (21 197 arguments), and Debate.org (338 620 arguments). Moreover, the corpus contains 48 arguments from Canadian Parliament discussions. The arguments are extracted using heuristics that are designed for each debate portal.
These arguments are the ones currently provided through the args.me search engine. Note that the args API does not return the sourceText (which is indexed by args.me an included in this dataset) due to its size.
