 ABSTRACT

In the age of information, the ability to construct and evaluate arguments

critically has become increasingly essential across domains such as
education, law, media, and public discourse. However, most individuals lack
access to tools that objectively analyze the strength, coherence, and
credibility of their arguments. This project presents the "AI-Powered
Argument Analyzer", an intelligent system designed to evaluate user-
submitted arguments through advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP)
and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The system performs multi-
dimensional analysis including argument strength scoring, sentiment
detection, logical fallacy identification, and confidence level estimation. It
also provides AI-generated suggestions, counterarguments, grammar
corrections, and real-world examples to enhance argumentative writing. Text
preprocessing involves tokenization, stop word removal, lemmatization, and
feature extraction using pre-trained transformer models such as BERT.A
user-friendly interface built with Stream lit ensures ease of interaction.
Features such as user login, argument history tracking, leaderboards, and
PDF report generation further enrich user engagement. The analysis includes
a strength score, confidence level, sentiment category, fallacy detection, and
even AI-suggested improvements. Additional features include a login
system, argument history, search and filter, leaderboard, and PDF report
generation. By offering a structured way to assess and improve arguments,
this tool is especially beneficial for students, debaters, educators, and
professionals in critical thinking roles. Future enhancements may include
multilingual support, real-world example generation, and counterargument
generation to elevate user learning further.
