Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the viewpoint detection process into distinct modules: claim extraction from documents, embedding generation using pre-trained sentence transformers, graph construction with approximate nearest neighbor searches, and stance classification using graph neural networks. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and enables parallel processing of multiple documents.

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training sentence transformer models on large corpora to learn semantic representations, and by pre-computing embeddings for all claims in the document collection before actual viewpoint detection is needed. This preprocessing significantly reduces the computational burden during runtime operations.

AI summary

This disclosure describes one or more implementations of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that extract viewpoints from content for syntopical reading using an efficient claim-relation graph construction approach. For example, the disclosed systems utilize sentence transformers with claims from content to embed the claims within a metric space (as claim nodes). Furthermore, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a claim relation graph for the claims by utilizing approximate nearest neighbor searches to determine relational edges between a claim node and the claim node's approximate nearest neighbors. Moreover, in some implementations, the disclosed systems utilize the claim relation graph with an edge weighted graph neural network to determine stance labels during extraction of viewpoints (e.g., stance, aspect, and topic) for the claims. Additionally, in one or more instances, the disclosed systems utilize the extracted viewpoints in content retrieval applications (e.g., viewpoint ranked search results and/or socially contextualized claims).
