  abstract  = {The automated comparison of points of view between two politicians is a very
	challenging task, due not only to the lack of annotated resources, but also to
	the different dimensions participating to the definition of agreement and
	disagreement.
	In order to shed light on this complex task, we first carry out a pilot study
	to manually annotate the components involved in detecting agreement and
	disagreement. Then, based on these findings, we implement different features to
	capture them automatically via supervised classification.  We do not focus on
	debates in dialogical form, but we rather consider sets of documents, in which
	politicians may express their position with respect to different topics in an
	implicit or explicit way, like during an electoral campaign. We create and make
	available three different datasets.},
