To calculate score on a debates we use some type of EDU(Elementary Discourse Unit) also named segment too here, to put some unitary score. We defined here their types and to what they correspond. We have used the Glozz's software to annotate the training corpus.

We need to defined before the notation of the reactions :

• + : positive reactions like applause or laugh
• 0 : no reactions or few reactions
• - : negative ractions like hoots or sound volume going up

Types

• Proposition : The emitter answer to a "Question" or an "Attack" or a "Counterattack".
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Recipiant : to who or whose it's destinate
  • Emitter : who's speaking
  • Reaction_public : the reaction of the public
  • Reaction_emitter : the reaction of the emitter
  • Reaction_recipiant : the reaction of the recipiant
• Attack : The emitter send an "attack" verbally to a person
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Recipiant : to who it's destinate
  • Emitter : who's speaking
  • Reaction_public : the reaction of the public
  • Reaction_emitter : the reaction of the emitter
  • Reaction_recipiant : the reaction of the recipiant
• Counterattack : The emitter respond to an attack launch against him with another attack
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Recipiant : to who it's destinate
  • Emitter : who's speaking
  • Reaction_public : the reaction of the public
  • Reaction_emitter : the reaction of the emitter
  • Reaction_recipiant : the reaction of the recipiant
• Question : The emmiter ask something to a candidate or the presentator to have an answer about
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Recipiant : to who it's destinate
  • Emitter : who's speaking
  • Reaction_public : the reaction of the public
  • Reaction_emitter : the reaction of the emitter
  • Reaction_recipiant : the reaction of the recipiant
• Change_of_subject : The emitter try to avoid a question or an attack or an counterattack changing the subject
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Emitter : who's speaking

  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"

  • Emitter : who's speaking
• Claim : The emitter give his opinion about a subject, a question or anything else
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Emitter : who's speaking
• Support : The emitter try to justify his opinion about a subject, a question or anything else
  • Surface_act : "Assertion" or "Question"
  • Emitter : who's speaking
