Discourse Parsing
Discourse parsing is a natural-language-processing task that models the rhetorical relations between sentences and paragraphs of a text — relations such as cause, contrast, and elaboration — and represents them as a tree structure. It works within established frameworks, principally Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), introduced by Mann and Thompson in 1988, and the Penn Discourse TreeBank (PDTB), released by Prasad and colleagues in 2008.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
