Abstract

Motivated by the need for identifying and propagating stances along debate threads where this correspondence can be elusive, we present a stance propagation model built on the Heat Diffusion algorithm, and show that it can effectively spread stances over the nodes of a debate thread. Our authors are represented by the nodes of our model, posts written are oriented to the edges in this case, data has been retrieved from the CreateDebate platform. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves comparable performance as the current state-of-the-art models. This algorithm has shown to be very effective at growing stances in unsupervised settings and, as such, these results provide valuable insight into the evolution of online debates.
