Text Reconstructing System of Editorial Text Based on Reader's Comprehension

In writing an editorial, an author constructs a logical structure to form an argument. A reader, meanwhile, determines the topics presented in that text and the relationships between them to understand that logical structure and arrive at the argument. However, if the reader cannot correctly read the logical structure, the text that can be reconstructed from the logical structure understood by the reader will differ from the original editorial text. We have developed a system that helps a reader recognize one's own errors in understanding logical structure by reconstructing the text based on the understood logical structure. In this paper, we provide an overview of the system and discuss the results of an experiment that we performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the system.
