    Abstract: An information processing system includes a positioning information obtainer, a level-of-importance obtainer, a degree-of-agreement obtainer, and a calculator. The positioning information obtainer obtains information on positions of statements in an argument. The level-of-importance obtainer obtains levels of importance of the statements for a claim in the argument in accordance with the positions of the statements. The degree-of-agreement obtainer obtains a degree of agreement indicating a degree to which participants in the argument agree on each of the statements. The calculator calculates a degree of claim agreement of the claim and a degree of claim certainty of the claim from the levels of importance and the degrees of agreement on the statements. The degree of claim agreement indicates a degree to which the participants in the argument agree on the claim. The degree of claim certainty indicates a degree of certainty of the claim.
