Project AKASE – Argumentation Knowledge-Graphs for Advanced Search Engines

This project seeks to construct argumentation knowledge graphs that encode structured, multi-perspective arguments, providing search engines with enriched, balanced, and credible content. The collaboration with OpenWebSearch.EU grants access to extensive, high-quality open data essential for building these comprehensive graphs. Further, it enables the efficient implementation and integration of the graphs within search interfaces, fostering a tool that enhances user engagement by delivering reliable, diverse perspectives on complex topics.
